Psalm 135:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 [a]I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is superior to all gods.[b]
6 The Lord does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and in all their depths.[c]
7 He causes clouds to rise
from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning[d] with the rain
and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
