(A)It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know how,
When He overturns them in His anger.
It is He who (B)shakes the earth from its place,
And its (C)pillars tremble;
Who commands the (D)sun [a]not to shine,
And puts a seal on the stars;
Who alone (E)stretches out the heavens,
And [b](F)tramples down the waves of the sea;
Who makes the (G)Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the [c](H)constellations of the south.
10 It is He who (I)does great things, [d]the unfathomable,
And wondrous works without number.
