Psalms 77:17-18

77:17 The clouds poured down rain;

the skies thundered.

Yes, your arrows flashed about.

77:18 Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind;

the lightning bolts lit up the world;

the earth trembled and shook.


tn Heb “water.”

tn Heb “a sound the clouds gave.”

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

tn The prefixed verbal form may be taken as a preterite or as an imperfect with past progressive force.
