104 My soul, praise the Lord!
    Lord my God, you are very great!
You are clothed with glory and honor.
    You wear light like a robe.
You spread out the skies like a curtain.
    You built your home above them.[a]
You use the thick clouds like a chariot
    and ride across the sky on the wings of the wind.

    and rides on the wings of the wind.(L)
