27 “He draws up the drops of water,

which distill as rain to the streams;

28 the clouds pour down their moisture

and abundant showers fall on mankind.

29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,

how he thunders from his pavilion?

30 See how he scatters his lightning about him,

bathing the depths of the sea.

27 For he draws up the drops of water;

they distill his mist in rain,

28 which the skies pour down

and drop on mankind abundantly.

29 Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,

the thunderings of his pavilion?

30 Behold, he scatters his lightning about him

and covers the roots of the sea.

27 For he maketh small the drops of water:

They pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:

28 Which the clouds do drop

And distil upon man abundantly.

29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,

Or the noise of his tabernacle?

30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it,

And covereth the bottom of the sea.

27 He draws up the water vapor

and then distills it into rain.

28 The rain pours down from the clouds,

and everyone benefits.

29 Who can understand the spreading of the clouds

and the thunder that rolls forth from heaven?

30 See how he spreads the lightning around him

and how it lights up the depths of the sea.

27 For He draws up drops of water,

Which distill as rain from the mist,

28 Which the clouds drop down

And pour abundantly on man.

29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,

The thunder from His canopy?

30 Look, He scatters His light upon it,

And covers the depths of the sea.

27 “He evaporates the drops of water from the earth

and turns them into rain.

28 The rain then pours down from the clouds,

and showers fall on people.

29 No one understands how God spreads out the clouds

or how he sends thunder from where he lives.

30 Watch how God scatters his lightning around him,

lighting up the deepest parts of the sea.

27 For he draweth up the drops of water,

Which distil in rain from his vapor,

28 Which the skies pour down

And drop upon man abundantly.

29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,

The thunderings of his pavilion?

30 Behold, he spreadeth his light around him;

And he covereth the bottom of the sea.

27 For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth, 28 Which the skies pour down and drop upon man abundantly. 29 But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the crashing of his pavilion? 30 Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

27 He collects drops of water. 

He distills rain from his mist, 

28 which then drips from the clouds. 

It pours down on many people. 

29 Can anyone really understand how clouds spread out 

or how he thunders from his dwelling place? 

30 Look, he scatters his flashes of lightning around him 

and covers the depths of the sea. 

27 For He makes waterdrops evaporate;

they distill the rain into its mist,

28 which the clouds pour out

and shower abundantly on mankind.

29 Can anyone understand how the clouds spread out

or how the thunder roars from God’s pavilion?

30 See how He spreads His lightning around Him

and covers the depths of the sea.

27 For he draws up the drops of water;

he distills his mist in rain,

28 which the skies pour down

and drop upon mortals abundantly.

29 Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,

the thunderings of his pavilion?

30 See, he scatters his lightning around him

and covers the roots of the sea.

27 “He makes mist rise from the water.

Then it falls as rain into the streams.

28 The clouds pour down their moisture.

Rain showers fall on people everywhere.

29 Who can understand how God spreads out the clouds?

Who can explain how he thunders from his home in heaven?

30 See how he scatters his lightning around him!

He lights up the deepest parts of the ocean.

27 “For He draws up the drops of water,

They distill rain from the mist,

28 Which the clouds pour down,

They drip upon man abundantly.

29 “Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,

The thundering of His pavilion?

30 “Behold, He spreads His lightning about Him,

And He covers the depths of the sea.
