“There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty.

He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.

Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.

…which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.

…can you, like Him, spread out the skies, as strong as a mirror of bronze?

Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.

Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Or who can tilt the water jars of the heavens

He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.

Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.

For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.

Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

The clouds poured down water; the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth.

Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.

For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?

…like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

By His knowledge the watery depths were broken open, and the clouds dripped with dew.

…when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,

Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales; He lifts up the islands like fine dust.

Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.

“We tried to heal Babylon, but she could not be healed. Abandon her! Let each of us go to his own land, for her judgment extends to the sky and reaches to the clouds.”
