He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
It is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, 'Here we are?'
who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
