3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords,

For his loyal love endures forever.

 5 He skillfully made* the heavens,+

For his loyal love endures forever.

15 He is the Maker of the earth by his power,

The One who established the productive land by his wisdom+

And who stretched out the heavens by his understanding.+

16 When he makes his voice heard,

The waters in the heavens are in turmoil,

And he causes clouds* to ascend from the ends of the earth.

He makes lightning for* the rain,

And he brings the wind out of his storehouses.+
