He layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; He maketh the clouds his chariot; He rideth upon the wings of the wind.

Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains!
מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ 7
At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעוֹת אֶל־מְקוֹם זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ 8
The mountains rose, the valleys sank, In the place which thou didst appoint for them.
גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יֽ͏ַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 9
Thou hast established a bound which the waters may not pass, That they may not return, and cover the earth.

About them the birds of heaven have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 13
He watereth the hills from his chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works!
מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 14
He causeth grass to spring up for cattle, And herbage for the service of man, To bring forth food out of the earth,
וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ 15
And wine that gladdeneth the heart of man, Making his face to shine more than oil, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.
יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַֽרְזֵי לְבָנוֹן אֲשֶׁר נָטָֽע׃ 16
The trees of the LORD are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
