3  He directeth it under the whole heaven,

And his †lightning unto the †ends of the earth.

4  After it a voice roareth:

He athundereth with the voice of his excellency;

And he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

5  God thundereth bmarvellously with his voice;

cGreat things doeth he, which dwe cannot comprehend.

6  For he saith to ethe snow, Be thou on the earth;

†Likewise to the small rain,

And to the great rain of his strength.

7  He fsealeth up the hand of every man;

That all men may know his work.

8  Then the beasts go into gdens,

And remain in their ghplaces.

9  †Out of the south cometh ithe whirlwind:

And ecold out of the †north.

10  By the breath of God kfrost is given:

And lthe breadth of the waters is straitened.

11  Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud:

He scattereth †his bright cloud:

12  And it is turned round about by his mcounsels:

nThat they may do whatsoever he commandeth them

Upon the face of othe world in the earth.

13  He causeth it to come, whether pfor †correction,

Or qfor his land, or rfor mercy.
