THE VALLEYS SANK AND THE MOUNTAINS ROSE
Psalm 104:6–8 says:
“You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke they fled; at the sound of Your thunder they took flight. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place You appointed for them.”
This describes the violent reshaping of the earth’s surface during the Flood itself. As the waters rose to cover the earth, immense geological forces were unleashed. The crust buckled, mountains were thrust upward, and deep valleys and ocean trenches sank downward, providing room for the floodwaters.
We see the evidence of this today: entire mountain ranges with marine fossils at their peaks, vast rift valleys, deep ocean basins, and massive sedimentary layers that were laid down by water on a global scale. These features are not the product of slow erosion over millions of years, but of catastrophic forces at work when “the fountains of the great deep burst forth” (Gen. 7:11).
Psalm 104 isn’t just poetry—it’s a record of what happened as God used the Flood to reshape the earth. The mountains we admire and the valleys that cut through continents are scars of that judgment, still testifying to God’s power and the truth of His Word.
