Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
God covered the earth with the deep as with a garment, so that deep waters stood above the mountains. The lines that follow show He made those waters retreat and set a boundary they cannot pass to cover the earth again. That retreat came by His rebuke, sending the waters to the places He had appointed for them. The earth's waters are thus fully subject to His power and control.
