He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.
darkened because of the ice and the inflow of melting snow,
You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.
