Who layest the beams of his chambers in the waters] God, as he hath founded the solid earth upon the fluid waters, Psalms 26:9; so the highest heaven upon those waters above the firmament, Gen 1:7 Psalms 17:11.

Who maketh the clouds, &c.] These are his chariot royal, drawn (or rather driven) by the winds, as his chariot horses.
