11. Behold the rainbow! Then bless its Maker,for majestic indeed is its splendor;
12. It spans the heavens with its glory,the hand of God has stretched it out in power.
13. His rebuke marks out the path for the hail,and makes the flashes of his judgment shine forth.
14. For his own purposes he opens the storehouseand makes the rain clouds fly like vultures.
15. His might gives the clouds their strength,and breaks off the hailstones.
16. The thunder of his voice makes the earth writhe;by his power he shakes the mountains.
17. A word from him drives on the south wind,whirlwind, hurricane, and stormwind.He makes the snow fly like birds;it settles down like swarms of locusts.
18. Its shining whiteness blinds the eyes,the mind marvels at its steady fall.
19. He scatters frost like salt;it shines like blossoms on the thornbush.
20. He sends cold northern blaststhat harden the ponds like solid ground,Spreads a crust over every body of water,and clothes each pool with a coat of armor.
