1At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

1At this my heart is shaking; it is moved out of its place.

6For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

6For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

6For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.

6For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.

7He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it.

7He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

7He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.

11Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:

11Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

11The thick cloud is weighted with thunder-flame, and the cloud sends out its light;
