‏ Psalms 104:6-7

v. 6: At creation, God covered the earth with water, the waters were above the mountains . This made the earth unfit for people. So, on the third day, God commanded the waters to gather in one place and let dry land appear (Genesis 1:9 ^a).

v. 7: God’s command is like a rebuke to the waters—they quickly obeyed his voice and moved away . God’s power over creation is shown when the waters “fled” at his word, just as it says, The waters saw thee, O God! the waters saw thee; they were afraid (Psalm 77:16 ^b). God did this for the sake of people, so the world could be a home for us (Habakkuk 3:8,13 ^c).
