From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Fire, and hail -Fire, when accompanied by hail; that is, the lightning. SeePsalms 18:12. Snow, and vapors -Snow and clouds. It was not unnatural that these should be combined, or suggested together to the mind. Stormy wind -The storm; the tempest. Fulfilling his word -Obeying his command; accomplishing his purpose. Let the storm-wind, which seems to be so little under any control, speak his praise by showing how obedient it is to his will, and how exactly it carries out his designs.
