when I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it up in dark clouds,
The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
when I set a limit for it and put up bars and gates,

“Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in the palm of his hand? Who has wrapped water in a garment? Who has set up the earth from one end to the other? What is his name or the name of his son? Certainly, you must know!
