²⁶ When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;

²⁵ Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;

³ He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And his lightening unto the ends of the earth.

¹ Ask ye of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain, `even of' Jehovah that maketh lightnings; and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

⁷ And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

²² Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things.

⁸ Fire and hail, snow and vapor; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

³ The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters.

⁴ The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

⁷ The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.

⁸ The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

¹⁰ Jehovah sat `as King' at the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.

²⁷ To satisfy the waste and desolate `ground', And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?

¹¹ Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:

³² He covereth his hands with the lightning, And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

²⁶ Behold, God is great, and we know him not; The number of his years is unsearchable.
