You built your palace on the ocean deeps,

made a chariot out of clouds and took off on wind-wings.

You commandeered winds as messengers,

appointed fire and flame as ambassadors.

You set earth on a firm foundation

so that nothing can shake it, ever.

You blanketed earth with ocean,

covered the mountains with deep waters;

He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;

he makes the clouds his chariot;

he rides on the wings of the wind;

his ministers a flaming fire.

so that it should never be moved.

You covered it with the deep as with a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

on the waters above,

making the clouds his chariot,

You covered it with the deep

as if it were a garment;

the water stood above the mountains.

you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.

You make the clouds your chariot;

you ride upon the wings of the wind.

so it would never be moved.

You clothed the earth with floods of water,

water that covered even the mountains.

who makes clouds his chariot,

who rides on the wings of the wind,

so that it will not be moved forever and ever.

You covered it with the deep as with a garment.

The waters stood above the mountains.

KJV 1900King James Version

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters:

Who maketh the clouds his chariot:

Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

Who maketh his angels spirits;

His ministers a flaming fire:

Who laid the foundations of the earth,

That it should not be removed for ever.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:

The waters stood above the mountains.
