Lexicon :: Strong's H7834 - šaḥaq

“There is none like the God of Jeshurun (Israel),

Who rides the heavens to your help,

And through the skies in His majestic glory.

“He made darkness [fn]canopies around Him,

A mass of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

“Look to the heavens and see;

And behold the skies which are [much] higher than you.

Which the clouds pour down,

They drop abundantly upon mankind.”

“Can you, with Him, spread out the sky,

Strong as a molten mirror?

“Now people cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies [without being blinded],

When the wind has passed and cleared them.

“Who can count the clouds by [earthly] wisdom,

Or pour out the water jars of the heavens,

He made darkness His hiding place (covering); His pavilion (canopy) around Him,

The darkness of the waters, the thick clouds of the skies.

Your lovingkindness and graciousness, O LORD, extend to the skies,

Your faithfulness [reaches] to the clouds.

For Your faithfulness and lovingkindness are great, reaching to the heavens,

And Your truth to the clouds.

Ascribe strength to God;

His majesty is over Israel

And His strength is in the skies.

The clouds poured down water;

The skies sent out a sound [of rumbling thunder];

Your arrows (lightning) flashed here and there.

Yet He commanded the clouds from above

And opened the doors of heaven;

For who in the heavens can be compared to the LORD?

Who among the divine beings is like the LORD,

“It shall be established forever like the moon,

And the witness in the heavens is ever faithful.” Selah.

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;

Your truth reaches to the skies.

By His knowledge the deeps were broken up

And the clouds drip with dew.

When He made firm the skies above,

When the fountains and springs of the deep became fixed and strong,

In fact, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,

And are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales;

Now look, He lifts up the islands like fine dust.

“Rain down, O heavens, from above,

Let the clouds pour down righteousness [all the blessings of God];

Let the earth open up, let salvation bear fruit,

And righteousness spring up with it;

I, the LORD, have created it.

We would have healed Babylon, but she was not to be healed.

Abandon her and let each [captive] return to his own country,

For her guilt and judgment have reached to heaven

And are lifted up to the very skies.
