He shot His arrows and scattered the foes;He hurled lightning and routed them.
On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
When He thunders,the waters in the heavens roar;He causes the clouds to risefrom the ends of the earth.He generates the lightning with the rainand brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

Flash forth Your lightning and scatter them;shoot Your arrows and rout them.
