He makes winds his angels, and flames of fire his servants.

He has made the earth strong on its bases, so that it may not be moved for ever and ever;

6

Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;

7

At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;

You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.
