3 By God’s word he shut up the heavensand three times brought down fire.
4 How awesome are you, Elijah!Whose glory is equal to yours?
5 You brought a dead body back to lifefrom Sheol, by the will of the Lord.
6 You sent kings down to destruction,and nobles, from their beds of sickness.
7 You heard threats at Sinai,at Horeb avenging judgments.
8 You anointed the agent of these punishments,the prophet to succeed in your place.
9 You were taken aloft in a whirlwind,in a chariot with fiery horses.
