Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
He builds the framework of his heavenly home above the waters; he rides the clouds like a chariot and travels on the wings of the wind.
This verse describes God as the majestic creator who dwells above the waters and moves powerfully through the sky, using clouds and wind as his transportation.
