Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

24 “Remember to ^amagnify His work,
Of which men have sung.

25 Everyone has seen it;
Man looks on it from afar.

26 “Behold, God is great, and we ^ado not know Him;
^bNor can the number of His years be discovered.

27 For He ^adraws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,

28 ^aWhich the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.

29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?

30 Look, He ^ascatters His light upon it,
And covers the depths of the sea.

31 For ^aby these He judges the peoples;
He ^bgives food in abundance.

32 ^aHe covers His hands with lightning,
And commands it to¹ strike.
