Psalms 147:17

His ice; either,

1. Pieces of ice, which God may be said to cast forth, or to cast down, because he sendeth it, and ofttimes suddenly; or,

2. Great hailstones, which are of an icy nature and substance, and which are very properly cast forth or cast down out of the clouds, and that like morsels or fragments, the particles being congealed in them. His cold; the cold which he sometimes sends into the air is so sharp, that it would be intolerable, if men did not defend themselves from it by houses, clothes, fire, &c.
