13  For behold, ^fhe who forms the mountains and creates the wind,

and ^gdeclares to man what is his thought,

^hwho makes the morning darkness,

and ⁱtreads on the heights of the earth—

^jthe Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!

8  He who made the ^rPleiades and Orion,

and turns deep darkness into the morning

and ^sdarkens the day into night,

who ^tcalls for the waters of the sea

^tand pours them out on the surface of the earth,

^uthe Lord is his name;

9  ^vwho makes destruction flash forth against the strong,

so that destruction comes upon the fortress.

5  The Lord God of hosts,

he who touches the earth and ⁿit melts,

and all who dwell in it mourn,

^oand all of it rises like the Nile,

^oand sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;

6  ^pwho builds his upper chambers in the heavens

and founds his vault upon the earth;

^qwho calls for the waters of the sea

and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—

^rthe Lord is his name.
