²⁵ By whom has the way been cut for the flowing of the rain, and the flaming of the thunder;

²⁶ When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the thunder-flames;

²⁷ For he takes up the drops from the sea; he sends them through his mist as rain,

²⁸ Flowing down from the sky, and dropping on the peoples.

³ He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.

⁴ After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.

⁵ He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;

⁶ For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.

³ The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.

⁴ The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.

⁵ By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.

⁶ He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.

⁷ At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.

⁸ At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.

⁹ At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: in his Temple everything says, Glory.

¹⁰ The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.
