¹ "Who has appointed God His way, And who can say [to Him], 'You have done wrong'?

² "Remember that you should magnify God's work, Of which men have sung.

³ "All men have seen God's work; Man looks at it from a distance.

⁴ "Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him; The number of His years is unsearchable.

⁵ "For He draws up the drops of water, They distill rain from the mist,

⁶ Which the clouds pour down, They drop abundantly upon mankind."

⁷ "Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds Or the thundering of His pavilion?

⁸ "Behold, He spreads His lightning around Him [against the dark clouds], And He covers the depths of the sea.

⁹ "For by these [mighty acts] He judges the peoples; He gives food in abundance.

¹⁰ "He covers His hands with the lightning, And commands it to strike the mark.

¹¹ "His thundering voice declares [awesomely] His presence; The cattle also are told of His coming storm.

¹² "Indeed, at His thundering my heart trembles And leaps out of its place.

¹³ "Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that goes out of His mouth!

¹⁴ "He lets it loose under the whole heaven, And His lightning to the ends of the earth.

¹⁵ "After it, His voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, And He does not restrain His lightning [against His adversaries] when His voice is heard.

¹⁶ "God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

¹⁷ "For He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth'; And [He speaks] to the showers and to the downpour [of His mighty rains], 'Be strong.'
