Which the clouds do drop [and] distil upon man abundantly.
Ver. 28. Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly] Hence the Dutch call it raegen, and we rained, a rigando, from watering the earth all over, at times. This is God's work, and it ought to be marvellous in our eyes; it would be so were it not so ordinary. Non sanctis id ascribamus, multo minus sagis, the heathens gave their gods the glory of it. The Holy Ghost here and elsewhere setteth before us these common things, that when we see them, and yet know not the reason of them, we may gather, that we ought not overly curiously to pry into the profound judgments of God, which are far above the clouds, those receptacles of rain; yea, far above the highest heavens.
