“For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in
heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the
earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind out of His treasuries.” Psalm 135:5-7, KJV.
(All English Bible verses are from the King James Version, KJV, Bible translation.)
