2. robed in light as with a cloak.You spread out the heavens like a tent;
3. setting the beams of your chambers upon the waters.You make the clouds your chariot;traveling on the wings of the wind.
4. You make the winds your messengers;flaming fire, your ministers.
5. You fixed the earth on its foundation,so it can never be shaken.
6. The deeps covered it like a garment;above the mountains stood the waters.
7. At your rebuke they took flight;at the sound of your thunder they fled.
8. They rushed up the mountains, down the valleysto the place you had fixed for them.
9. You set a limit they cannot pass;never again will they cover the earth.
10. You made springs flow in wadiesthat wind among the mountains.
11. They give drink to every beast of the field;here wild asses quench their thirst.
12. Beside them the birds of heaven nest;among the branches they sing.
13. You water the mountains from your chambers;from the fruit of your labor the earth abounds.
14. You make the grass grow for the cattleand plants for people’s workto bring forth food from the earth,
15. wine to gladden their hearts,oil to make their faces shine,and bread to sustain the human heart.
16. The trees of the Lord drink their fill,the cedars of Lebanon, which you planted.
