2covering yourself with light as with a garment,fstretching out the heavens glike a tent.
3He hlays the beams of his ichambers on the waters;
he makes jthe clouds his chariot;

4he lmakes his messengers winds,
his mministers na flaming fire.
5 He oset the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.

23Ages ago I was pset up,at the first, qbefore the beginning of the earth.
24When there were no rdepths I was sbrought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25Before the mountains thad been shaped,
ubefore the hills, I was brought forth,
26before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27When he vestablished the heavens, I was there;
when he drew wa circle on the face of the deep,

ywho stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;

zHe who brings out their host by number,

and because he is strong in power,
not one is missing.

5 Thus says God, the Lord,who created the heavens aaand stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
abwho gives breath to the people on it
and spirit to those who walk in it:
