|
|
3. and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds. He makes the clouds his chariot, and travels along on the wings of the wind.
|
3. Who layeth the beams H7136 of his chambers H5944 in the waters H4325 : who maketh H7760 the clouds H5645 his chariot H7398 : who walketh H1980 upon H5921 the wings H3671 of the wind H7307 :

|
24. O LORD H3068 , how H4100 manifold H7231 are thy works H4639 ! in wisdom H2451 hast thou made H6213 them all H3605 : the earth H776 is full H4390 of thy riches H7075 .
