5 The Lord, the LORD Almighty,
he who touches the earth and it melts,
and all who live in it mourn-
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt-
6 he who builds his lofty palace2 9:6 The meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain. in the heavens and sets its foundation3 9:6 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. on the earth,
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land-
the LORD is his name.
