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.
New Defender's Study Bible Notes
135:7 vapours. This is a striking anticipation of modern scientific understanding of the hydrologic cycle—evaporation from the oceans, transportation of the waters inland by the great atmospheric circulation, then electricity to activate condensation and precipitation. This verse is almost identical to the last part of Jeremiah 10:13 and Jeremiah 51:16, which suggests the possibility that the prophet Jeremiah may have written Psalm 135.
