“He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.”
He ties up the sources of the streams, and he brings hidden things to light, describing human ability to control water and to reveal what was concealed, extending the catalog of human power over nature. The tying up of stream sources suggests control of water's flow, the regulation of natural forces for human purposes. The bringing of hidden things to light suggests revelation, that systematic human effort eventually makes manifest what previously lay concealed. The verse emphasizes that human capability extends across multiple domains—mineral extraction, water control, and the transformation of hidden into revealed.
