‏ Psalms 104:3

v. 3: God has his chambers or upper rooms above the skies, with their beams laid on the waters above the firmament . Just as kings have strong palaces, God’s “rooms” are held up by his power, even though they rest on water and air, which are not solid. This shows that God’s power is greater than any human strength.

God also makes the clouds his chariot and walks upon the wings of the wind (Psalm 104:3 a). When God acts in special ways in the world, he shows his might and speed, moving above all human limits. God came down in a cloud at Mount Sinai to give the law and at Mount Tabor to reveal his glory (Matthew 17:5 b). He controls the wind and uses it for his purposes (Psalm 18:10-11 c).
