1“At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
2Hear attentively the thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3He sends it forth under the whole heaven,
His [a]lightning to the ends of the earth.
4After it a voice roars;
He thunders with His majestic voice,
And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.
5God thunders marvelously with His voice;
He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;
Likewise to the [b]gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.
7He seals the hand of every man,
That all men may know His work.
8The beasts go into dens,
And remain in their lairs.
9From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind,
And cold from the scattering winds of the north.
10By the breath of God ice is given,
And the broad waters are frozen.
11Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds;
He scatters His [c]bright clouds.
12And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,
That they may do whatever He commands them
On the face of [d]the whole earth.
13He causes it to come,
Whether for [e]correction,
Or for His land,
Or for mercy.
