Psalms 135:4-7

135:4 Indeed, ¹  the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,

Israel to be his special possession. ² 

135:5 Yes, ³  I know the Lord is great,

and our Lord is superior to all gods.

135:6 He does whatever he pleases

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all the ocean depths.

135:7 He causes the clouds to arise from the end of the earth,

makes lightning bolts accompany the rain,

and brings the wind out of his storehouses.
