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; his ministers a flaming fire:
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. They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
