Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,

Making His messengers — the winds, His ministers — the flaming fire.

Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.

Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

And wine — it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread — the heart of man it supporteth.

Where birds do make nests, The stork — the firs [are] her house.

The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge for conies,

How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions.
