2. He covers himself with light as if it were a garment.He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain,
3. and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds.He makes the clouds his chariot,and travels along on the wings of the wind.
4. He makes the winds his messengers,and the flaming fire his attendant.
5. He established the earth on its foundations;it will never be upended.
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.
9. You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross,so that they would not cover the earth again.
10. He turns springs into streams;they flow between the mountains.
11. They provide water for all the animals in the field;the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12. The birds of the sky live beside them;they chirp among the bushes.
13. He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace;the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.
14. He provides grass for the cattle,and crops for people to cultivate,so they can produce food from the ground,
15. as well as wine that makes people feel so good,and so they can have oil to make their faces shine,as well as food that sustains people’s lives.
