For He draws up the drops of water; they distill rain into mist,

which the clouds drip down, and drop upon men plentifully.

Also can any understand the spreading of the clouds, the crashing of His canopy?

Behold, He spreads His light about Him, and He covers the bottom of the sea.

For He judges the people by them; He gives plenty of food.

He covers His hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark;

its thunder tells about Him; also the cattle, as to what is coming.

My heart also trembles at this, and it leaps from its place.

Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice, and the rumbling that comes out from His mouth.

He lets it loose under the whole heavens, and His lightning to the wings of the earth.

After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice; and He will not hold them back when His voice is heard.

God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things, and we do not know.

For He says to the snow, Fall on the earth; also to the shower of rain, and the shower of heavy rains.

He seals up the hand of every man so that all men may know His work.

Then the beast goes into its lair, and they stay in their dens.

Out of the storeroom comes the tempest, and cold from scattering winds.

Ice is given by God's breath, and the expanse of waters is frozen.

Yea, He loads the cloud with moisture; He scatters His lightning cloud;

and it is turned around by His guidance, so that they may do whatever He commands them on the face of the world of the earth.

Whether as a whip, or for His land, or for mercy, He finds it.
