Psalms 135:7 - Exposition

He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth (comp. Jeremiah 10:13 ; Jeremiah 51:16 ) By God's contrivance vapor is continually rising from the remotest regions of the earth, to hang in clouds, descend in rain, and spread abroad fertility. He maketh lightnings for the rain. To accompany it, perhaps to give it its fertilizing qualities. He bringeth the wind out of his treasuries (see Job 38:22 , where God's "treasuries" for the snow and the hail are spoken of; and comp. Virgil, 'Aen.,' 2:25).
