ESVEnglish Standard Version

Keep listening to the thunder of his voice

and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.

Under the whole heaven he lets it go,

and his lightning to the corners of the earth.

After it his voice roars;

he thunders with his majestic voice,

and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.

God thunders wondrously with his voice;

he does great things that we cannot comprehend.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Just listen to his thunderous voice

and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.

He lets it loose beneath the entire sky;

his lightning to the ends of the earth.

Then there comes a roaring sound;

God thunders with his majestic voice.

He does not restrain the lightning

when his rumbling voice is heard.

God thunders wondrously with his voice;

he does great things that we cannot comprehend.

NLTNew Living Translation

Listen carefully to the thunder of God’s voice

as it rolls from his mouth.

It rolls across the heavens,

and his lightning flashes in every direction.

Then comes the roaring of the thunder—

the tremendous voice of his majesty.

He does not restrain it when he speaks.

God’s voice is glorious in the thunder.

We can’t even imagine the greatness of his power.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Listen carefully to his voice’s thunder

and the rumbling that goes out from his mouth.

He lets it loose under all the heavens,

and his lightning to the earth’s corners.

After it, his voice roars;

it thunders with his majestic voice,

and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard.

“God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways;

he does great things, and we cannot comprehend.

KJV 1900King James Version

Hear attentively the noise of his voice,

And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

He directeth it under the whole heaven,

And his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

After it a voice roareth:

He thundereth with the voice of his excellency;

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

God thundereth marvellously with his voice;

Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
