Quand il fixait les nuages en haut, quand il faisait jaillir les fontaines de l'abîme.
Lorsqu'il fixa les nuages en haut, Et que les sources de l'abîme jaillirent avec force,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When he established the clouds above,.... In which the waters are bound, and yet are not rent under them; and where, in the thin air, they hang heavy with them; where they are weighed by measure, and a decree made for them when they shall fall; and when they do, the Lord makes small the drops of water, which the clouds do drop and distil on men abundantly; the spreadings of which are beyond understanding, and are unaccountable, and must be referred to the power of God; who has settled and established them in the heavens, and the laws of them,
Job 26:8;
when he strengthened the fountains of the deep; gave them strength, and still continues it, to cast out their waters, which run into the main sea, and feed and fill it, and return to their place again; which strength of flowing and reflowing can be attributed to nothing else but to the great power of God, Genesis 7:11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 8:28. The clouds above — שחקים shechakim, "the ethereal regions," taking in the whole of the atmosphere, with all its meteors, clouds, vapours, &c.
