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.
9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
