On biblical truth, I'll just point out that
we do see the waters of the sea flooding over
land from time to time.

 Doesn't that happen on most beaches twice a day?

Catching up...  I was taking it that that
doesn't count.  Though I also was supposing
that the author of Psalm 104 may have not
personally seen the sea.
Here's "The NET Bible" version, I hope not
too much of a quote.  Not incidentally, its
scholarly footnotes include an assertion
that verses 7-8 refer to Genesis 1 and not
to the Noah story.  I do interpret verse 9
as God setting a limit on the high tide -
I'd better make clear that I don't believe
in this - which is contradicted if Noah's
flood happens later, and also in 21st century
real life.

5 He established the earth on its foundations;
it will never be moved.
6 The watery deep covered it like a garment;
the waters reached above the mountains.
7 Your shout made the waters retreat;
at the sound of your thunderous voice
they hurried off -
8 as the mountains rose up
and the valleys went down -
to the place you appointed for them.
[i.e. the waters - presumably.]
9 You set up a boundary for them that they
could not cross,
so that they would not cover the earth again.
