Psalms 104:5
3 laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.
He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.
6 You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—
