2. Listen closely to the rumble of his voice,the roar issuing from his mouth.
3. He looses it under the whole sky,his lightning on earth’s edges.
4. After it, a voice roars;he thunders with a mighty voice,and no one can stop itwhen his voice is heard.
5. God roars with his wondrous voice;he does great things we can’t know.
6. He says to the snow, "Fall to earth,"and to the downpour of rain, "Be a mighty shower."
7. He stamps the hand of every personso all can know his work.
8. The wild beast enters its lair,lies down in its den.
9. The storm comes from its chamber,the cold from the north wind.
10. By God’s breath ice forms;water’s expanse becomes solid.
11. He also fills clouds with moisture;his lightning scatters clouds.
12. He overturns the circling clouds;by his guidance they do their work,doing everything he commands over the entire earth.
13. Whether for punishment, for his world,or for kindness,God makes it all happen.
