Hallelujah, praise, etc.

בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה. הֵם זַהֲרוּרֵי הָרָקִיעַ הַמַּבְרִיקִים וּמֵאִירִים לִפְנֵי הַמָּטָר, שֶׁקּוֹרִין אשליילד״ש בְּלַעַ״ז:

He made lightning for the rain They are the flashes in the sky, that flash and lighten before the rain; esloyde, esluyde, esludes, esloisdes, aleydonz in Old French.

מוֹצֵא. לְשׁוֹן מְצִיאָה, כְּלוֹמַר: אוֹצָרוֹת תִּקֵּן לָרוּחַ, וְשָׁם הֵם מְצוּיִין לוֹ לְשָׁלְחָם בְּמִשְׁלַחְתּוֹ:

He finds Heb. מוצא, an expression of finding. i.e., He prepared a treasury for the wind, and there they are accessible to Him to send them on His mission.

בְּתוֹכֵכִי. כְּמוֹ בְּתוֹכֵךְ:

The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg

ה׳ שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם. כִּגְדֻלָּתְךָ וּכְמֶמְשַׁלְתְּךָ אָז כֵּן הוּא גַּם עַתָּה, וְהַיְּכֹלֶת בְּיָדְךָ לָדוּן וְלִנְקֹם נִקְמָתֵנוּ:

The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg

O Lord, Your name is eternal Like Your greatness and Your authority then, so is it also now, and You have the power to judge and to avenge us.

כִּי יָדִין ה׳ עַמּוֹ. יִשְׁפֹּט מִשְׁפָּטָם מֵאוֹיְבֵיהֶם:

The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg

For the Lord will judge His people He will judge their judgment from their enemies.

יִתְנֶחָם. יִתְעַשֵּׁת (יִתְעַכֵּב):

The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg

and relent He will have another thought.

אַף אֵין יֶשׁ רוּחַ בְּפִיהֶם. גַּם רוּחַ אֵין בְּפִיהֶם אֲפִלּוּ כַּבְּהֵמָה זוֹ, כָּל שֶׁכֵּן שֶׁלֹּא יְדַבְּרוּ כְּאָדָם. וּמֵאַחַר שֶׁאֵין בָּהֶם רוּחַ, אֵין צָרִיךְ לְפָרֵשׁ רוּחַ הַחֹטֶם. אַף זֶה פַּתָּח, וְ״אַף לָהֶם וְלֹא יְרִיחוּן״ (תהלים קטו:ו) קָמַץ (ס״א אינו):

neither is there any breath in their mouth There is not even any breath in their mouth like an animal. Now, since they have no breath [in the mouth], he need not explain [that they do not have] the breath of the nose. This אף is vowelized with a “pattah,” whereas (115:6): “they have a nose (אף) but they do not smell,” is vowelized with a “kamatz.” (This is not found in all editions.)

יִרְאֵי ה׳. אֵלּוּ הַגֵּרִים (מדרש תהלים כב:כט) (מצאתי):

The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg

those who fear the Lord These are the proselytes (I found this).
