ESVEnglish Standard Version
For he draws up the drops of water;
they distill his mist in rain,
which the skies pour down
and drop on mankind abundantly.
Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,
the thunderings of his pavilion?
Behold, he scatters his lightning about him
and covers the roots of the sea.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
For he makes waterdrops evaporate;
they distill the rain into its mist,
which the clouds pour out
and shower abundantly on mankind.
Can anyone understand how the clouds spread out
or how the thunder roars from God’s pavilion?
See how he spreads his lightning around him
and covers the depths of the sea.

NLTNew Living Translation
He draws up the water vapor
and then distills it into rain.
The rain pours down from the clouds,
and everyone benefits.
Who can understand the spreading of the clouds
and the thunder that rolls forth from heaven?
See how he spreads the lightning around him
and how it lights up the depths of the sea.

Indeed, he draws up the drops of water;
he distills the rain into its mist,
which the clouds pour down;
they shower abundantly on human beings.
“Moreover, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
the thundering of his dwelling place?
Look, he scatters his lightning around him,
and he covers the roots of the sea.

KJV 1900King James Version
For he maketh small the drops of water:
They pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
Which the clouds do drop
And distil upon man abundantly.
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,
Or the noise of his tabernacle?
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it,
And covereth the bottom of the sea.
