Thou makest thine angels spirits, and thy ministers a flaming fire. Thou hast laid the foundations of the earth, that it never should move at any time. Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment, so that the waters stand above the hills. But at thy rebuke they flee, at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid. Then are the hills seen aloft, and the valleys beneath - in their place which thou hast appointed for them. Thou hast set them their bounds, which they may not pass, that they turn not again to cover the earth. Thou causest the wells to spring up among the valleys, and the waters to run among the hills, that all the beasts of the field may have drink, and that the wild asses may quench their thirst.

There go the ships over, and there is that Leviathan, whom thou hast made, to take his pastime therein. These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them meat in due season. When thou givest it them, they gather it; when thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. But when thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; when thou takest away their breath, they die, and are turned again to their dust. When thou lettest thy breath go forth, they shall be made; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. The glorious majesty of the LORD shall endure forever, and the LORD rejoiceth in his works.
