Brachot HaShachar: Spreads Out the Earth on the Waters

Spreads Out the Earth on the Waters
רוקע הארץ על המים .... roekaa haaretz al hamayim

For years I read this one backwards and envisioned water spreading out over earth, which is what water does, as anyone who has ever knocked over a glass of water knows!

From the Artscroll Siddur comentary on Brachot HaShachar: The Redak says water floods everything in its path and earth sinks below its surface. G-d created earth so it remains always in place.
