Psalms 135:7

“He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth, etc.] Up to the heavens. Aben Ezra interprets this of the mist which went up out of the earth, and watered it, (<010206>Genesis 2:6); and still vapours are exhaled out of the earth by the force of the sun, and carried up into the air, and form various things, as wind, rain, etc. The Targum, Kimchi, and others, explain it of the “clouds”, so called from their elevation on high: these rise up out of the sea, the borders, and boundaries, and uttermost parts of the earth; (see <111844>1 Kings 18:44 <300508>Amos 5:8). Jerom interprets these clouds, spiritually and mystically, of the apostles and prophets, raised from a low and mean…”

“He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth - The word rendered vapors means literally risings; things raised up; and it may be applied, therefore, to vapors or clouds. The Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, and Luther render it clouds. It is among the proofs of the divine wisdom and power that he causes them to ascend contrary to the common law which drags all things down toward the earth. The arrangement by which this is done is among the most wise and wonderful of all the works of God. See Job 26:8, note; Job 38:25-28, notes. He maketh lightnings for the rain - To accompany the rain. See the notes at Job 28:26. He bringeth the wind out of his treasuries - Where he has, as it…”

“From - From all parts of the earth, from one end to another. Rain - An eminent instance of his good providence. Psalms 135:14”

“135:7 The psalmist tells of God’s sovereignty over the weather (Pss 29; 77:17-18; 78:26; 104:4; 147:8-9; 148:5-6).”

“He causeth: Psa 148:8; Gen 2:5, Gen 2:6; Kg1 18:1, Kg1 18:41-45; Job 5:10; Jer 10:13, Jer 14:22, Jer 51:16; Zac 10:1 he maketh lightnings: Dr. Russel informs us that seldom a night passes at Aleppo without much lightning in the north-west, but not attended with thunder; and when it appears in the west or south-western points, it is a sure sign of the approaching rain, which is often followed with thunder. See note on Job 38:26. Job 28:25, Job 28:26, Job 38:24-28 he bringeth: Psa 107:25, Psa 148:8; Job 38:22, Job 38:23; Jon 1:4; Joh 3:8 Psalms 135:8”
