2. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
3. Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
4. Who maketh winds his messengers; Flames of fire his ministers;
5. Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever.
6. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; The waters stood above the mountains.
7. At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away
8. (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth.
10. He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;
11. They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst.
12. By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
