God’s voice thunders(A) in marvelous ways;(B)
    he does great things beyond our understanding.(C)
He says to the snow,(D) ‘Fall on the earth,’
    and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’(E)
So that everyone he has made may know his work,(F)
    he stops all people from their labor.[a](G)
The animals take cover;(H)
    they remain in their dens.(I)
The tempest comes out from its chamber,(J)
    the cold from the driving winds.(K)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
    and the broad waters become frozen.(L)
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;(M)
    he scatters his lightning(N) through them.(O)
12 At his direction they swirl around
    over the face of the whole earth
    to do whatever he commands them.(P)
13 He brings the clouds to punish people,(Q)
    or to water his earth and show his love.(R)
