16
At his appearing the mountains are shaken; at his will the south wind blows.
17
The voice of his thunder rebukes the earth; so do the tempest from the north and the whirlwind. He scatters the snow like birds flying down, and its descent is like locusts alighting.
18
The eye marvels at the beauty of its whiteness, and the mind is amazed at its falling.
19
He pours the hoarfrost upon the earth like salt, and when it freezes, it becomes pointed thorns.
20
The cold north wind blows, and ice freezes over the water; it rests upon every pool of water, and the water puts it on like a breastplate.
21
He consumes the mountains and burns up the wilderness, and withers the tender grass like fire.
22
A mist quickly heals all things; when the dew appears, it refreshes from the heat.
23
By his counsel he stilled the great deep and planted islands in it.
24
Those who sail the sea tell of its dangers, and we marvel at what we hear.
25
for in it are strange and marvelous works, all kinds of living things, and huge creatures of the sea.
26
Because of him his messenger finds the way, and by his word all things hold together.
