²⁵ Who has cut a channel for the flood water, Or the path for the thunderstorm;

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

²⁷ For he draws up the drops of water, Which distill in rain from his vapor,

²⁸ Which the skies pour down And drop on man abundantly.

³ He sends it forth under the whole sky, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.

⁴ After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty; He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.

⁵ God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

⁶ For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

³ Yahweh's voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.

⁴ Yahweh's voice is powerful. Yahweh's voice is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

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

⁷ Yahweh's voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

⁸ Yahweh's voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ Yahweh's voice makes the deer calve, And strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, "Glory!"

¹⁰ Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.
