God sees everything that happens
    in the place of dead people.
Nothing can hide that terrible place from him.
He puts the skies in their place in the north,
    so that they cover empty space.
He hangs the earth in the skies
    and it stays there.
He fills the clouds with water.
    They become heavy but they do not break.

The realm of the dead(A) is naked before God;
    Destruction[a](B) lies uncovered.(C)
He spreads out the northern skies(D) over empty space;
    he suspends the earth over nothing.(E)
He wraps up the waters(F) in his clouds,(G)
    yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
