He covers His hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark;
He covers the face of His throne, spreading His cloud on it.
Also He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters the 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 in the earth.
Do you know when God placed them, and caused the lightning of His cloud to shine?
Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?
He causes the vapors to rise from the end of the earth; He makes lightnings for the rain; He brings wind out of His storehouses.
fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind fulfilling His Word,
He made darkness His secret place, His pavilion around Him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered, at Your rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
And neither sun nor stars appearing in many days, and no small tempest pressing hard, now all hope that we would be saved was taken away.
