'Skies' in the Bible

“There is none like the God of Jeshurun (Israel),Who rides the heavens to your help,And through the skies in His majestic glory.

“He made darkness canopies around Him,A mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

“It is He who spreads out the north over emptinessAnd hangs the earth on nothing.

“Look to the heavens and see;And behold the skies which are [much] higher than you.

Which the clouds pour down,They drop abundantly upon mankind.”

“Now people cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies [without being blinded],When the wind has passed and cleared them.

He made darkness His hiding place (covering); His pavilion (canopy) around Him,The darkness of the waters, the thick clouds of the skies.

Your lovingkindness and graciousness, O Lord, extend to the skies,Your faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds.

Ascribe strength to God;His majesty is over IsraelAnd His strength is in the skies.

The clouds poured down water;The skies sent out a sound [of rumbling thunder];Your arrows (lightning) flashed here and there.

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;Your truth reaches to the skies.

By His knowledge the deeps were broken upAnd the clouds drip with dew.

When He made firm the skies above,When the fountains and springs of the deep became fixed and strong,

All the host of heaven will be dissolved,And the skies will be rolled up like a scroll;All their hosts [the stars and the planets] will also wither awayAs a leaf withers from the vine,And as a fig withers from the fig tree.

“Rain down, O heavens, from above,Let the clouds pour down righteousness [all the blessings of God];Let the earth open up, let salvation bear fruit,And righteousness spring up with it;I, the Lord, have created it.

We would have healed Babylon, but she was not to be healed.Abandon her and let each [captive] return to his own country,For her guilt and judgment have reached to heavenAnd are lifted up to the very skies.
