7  He ^estretches out the north over ^fthe void

and hangs the earth on nothing.

8  He ^gbinds up the waters in his thick clouds,

and the cloud is not split open under them.

9  He covers the face of the full moon¹

and ^hspreads over it his cloud.

10  He has inscribed ⁱa circle on the face of the waters

at the boundary between light and darkness.
