2 Listen! Listen to the thunder of God’s voice.Listen to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3 He turns his lightning loose under the whole sky.And he sends it to the farthest parts of the earth.
4 After that you can hear the roarwhen he thunders with a great sound.He does not hold back the flashingwhen his voice is heard.
5 God’s voice thunders in wonderful ways.He does great things we cannot understand.
6 God says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth.’And he says to the rain shower, ‘Be a heavy rain.’
7 With it, God stops everyone from working.That way, everyone knows it is the work of God.
8 The animals take cover from the rain.They stay in their dens.
