My soul, praise the Lord! Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with majesty and splendor. He wraps Himself in light as if it were a robe, spreading out the sky like a canopy, laying the beams of His palace on the waters [above], making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind, read more.
and making the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.

When He again brings His firstborn into the world, He says, And all God's angels must worship Him. And about the angels He says: He makes His angels winds, and His servants a fiery flame;

and making the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants. He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken. You covered it with the deep as if it were a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away- mountains rose and valleys sank- to the place You established for them. You set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never cover the earth again. He causes the springs to gush into the valleys; they flow between the mountains. They supply water for every wild beast; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds of the sky live beside [the springs]; they sing among the foliage.

For life is more than food and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they don't sow or reap; they don't have a storeroom or a barn; yet God feeds them. Aren't you worth much more than the birds?


God’s chariots are tens of thousands,
thousands and thousands;
the Lord is among them in the sanctuary
as He was at Sinai.

Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, please open his eyes and let him see.” So the Lord opened the servant’s eyes. He looked and saw that the mountain was covered with horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

they had chests like iron breastplates; the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses rushing into battle;

laying the beams of His palace
on the waters above,
making the clouds His chariot,
walking on the wings of the wind,

Look, the Lord will come with fire
His chariots are like the whirlwind
to execute His anger with fury
and His rebuke with flames of fire.

Are You angry at the rivers, Lord?
Is Your wrath against the rivers?
Or is Your rage against the sea
when You ride on Your horses,
Your victorious chariot?


laying the beams of His palace
on the waters above,
making the clouds His chariot,
walking on the wings of the wind,


laying the beams of His palace
on the waters above,
making the clouds His chariot,
walking on the wings of the wind,

He waters the mountains from His palace;
the earth is satisfied by the fruit of Your labor.


An oracle against Egypt:

Look, the Lord rides on a swift cloud
and is coming to Egypt.
Egypt’s idols will tremble before Him,
and Egypt’s heart will melt within it.

laying the beams of His palace
on the waters above,
making the clouds His chariot,
walking on the wings of the wind,
