Psalms 77:17

The clouds poured down rain; ¹  the skies thundered. ²  Yes, your arrows ³  flashed about.

The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.

The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there.

The clouds poured down their rain; the thunder rolled and crackled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed.

Clouds belched buckets of rain, Sky exploded with thunder, your arrows flashing this way and that.

The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.

The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered; your arrows flashed on every side.

The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flashed about.

The clouds poured down rain; ¹  the skies thundered. ²  Yes, your arrows ³  flashed about.

¹ tn Heb “water.”

² tn Heb “a sound the clouds gave.”

³ tn The lightning accompanying the storm is portrayed as the Lord’s “arrows” (see v. 18).
