He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 A lui la mer: c’est lui qui l’a créée; et la terre ferme est l’œuvre de ses mains.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.

7 Oui, il est notre Dieu, et nous sommes le peuple dont il est le pasteur, le troupeau que dirige sa main. Si seulement aujourd’hui encore vous écoutiez sa voix!
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 "N’Endurcissez pas votre cœur comme à Meriba, comme au jour de Massa dans le désert,
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 où vos ancêtres m’ont tenté, mis à l’épreuve, quoiqu’ils eussent vu mes œuvres.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Pendant quarante ans j’étais écœuré de cette génération, et je disais: "C’Est un peuple au cœur égaré, qui ne veut pas connaître mes voies."
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Aussi jurai-je, dans ma colère, qu’ils n’entreraient pas dans ma paisible résidence."
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
