It makes [the] deep boil like a cooking pot; it makes [the] sea like a pot of ointment. Behind it, {it leaves a glistening wake}; one would think [that] the deep [has] gray hair. "{On the ground it has no equal}-- a creature without fear. It observes all [the] lofty; it [is] king {over all that are proud}."
