2 who coverest thyself with light as with a garment,

who hast stretched out the heavens like a tent,

3 who hast laid the beams of thy chambers on the waters,

who makest the clouds thy chariot,

who ridest on the wings of the wind,

4 who makest the winds thy messengers,

fire and flame thy ministers.

5 Thou didst set the earth on its foundations,

so that it should never be shaken.

6 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled;

at the sound of thy thunder they took to flight.
