For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
The marvelous formation of rain (so Job 5:9-10; Job 37:13).
Maketh small - rather, 'He draweth (up) to Him; He attracts х yªgaara` (H1639) - literally, draws off] (from the earth below) the drops of water; they (the drops of water) pour down rain, (which is) His vapour.' "Vapour" is in apposition with "rain," marking the way in which rain in formed-namely, from the vapour drawn up by God into the air and then condensed into drops, which fall (Psalms 147:8). The suspension of such a mass of water, and its descent, not in a deluge, but in drops of vapoury rain, are the marvel. The selection of this particular illustration of God's greatness forms a fit prelude to the storm in which God appears (Job 38:1).
Verse 28. Abundantly - literally, upon many men.
Cf. (Job 37:5). God's marvels in thunder and lightnings.
