6 He says to the snow, “Fall to the earth”;likewise to his heavy, drenching rain.
7 He shuts up all humankind indoors,so that all people may know his work.
8 The wild beasts take to coverand remain quiet in their dens.
9 Out of its chamber the tempest comes forth;from the north winds, the cold.
10 With his breath God brings the frost,and the broad waters congeal.
11 The clouds too are laden with moisture,the storm-cloud scatters its light.
12 He it is who changes their rounds, according to his plans,to do all that he commands themacross the inhabited world.
