2. You wear light like a robe.You stretch out the skies like a tent.
3. You build your room above the clouds.You make the clouds your chariot.You ride on the wings of the wind.
4. You make the winds your messengers.Flames of fire are your servants.
5. You built the earth on its foundations.So it can never be moved.
6. You covered the earth with oceans.The water was above the mountains.
7. But at your command, the water rushed away.When you gave your orders like thunder, it hurried away.
8. The mountains rose.The valleys sank.The water went to the places you made for it.
9. You set borders for the seas that they cannot cross.The water will never cover the earth again.
10. You make springs pour into the ravines.They flow between the mountains.
11. They water all the wild animals.The wild donkeys come there to drink.
12. Wild birds make nests by the water.They sing among the tree branches.
13. You water the mountains from above.The earth is full of the things you made.
14. You make the grass for cattleand vegetables for the use of man.You make food grow from the earth.
15. You give us wine that makes happy hearts.And you give us olive oil that makes our faces shine.You give us bread that gives us strength.
16. The Lord’s trees have plenty of water.They are the cedar trees of Lebanon, which he planted.
