His pavilion were dark waters and clouds of the skies;

At the brightness before him his clouds passed by,

Hail-stones and coals of fire.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

And the highest gave his voice;

Hail-stones and coals of fire.

Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them,

And he shot out his lightnings, and discomfited them.

Then the channels of waters were seen,

And the foundations of the world were made known,
