Psalms 148:8

O fire and hail, snow and clouds, ¹  O stormy wind that carries out his orders, ² 

lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding,

Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

fire and hail, snow and storm, wind and weather that obey him,

Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders;

Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:

fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling his command!

Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

O fire and hail, snow and clouds, ¹  O stormy wind that carries out his orders, ² 

¹ tn In Ps 119:83 the noun refers to “smoke,” but here, where the elements of nature are addressed, the clouds, which resemble smoke, are probably in view.

² tn Heb “[that] does his word.”
