He bindeth up the waters Those fluid and heavy bodies, pressing downward with great force; in his thick clouds As it were in bags, keeping them there suspended often for a long time; and the cloud is not rent under them But sustains them, notwithstanding their great weight, so that they do not burst forth all at once, and fall suddenly and violently upon the earth, but distil in dews, drops, and showers, to moisten, refresh, and fertilize it in due season.
