8  Who covereth the heaven with clouds,

uWho prepareth rain for the earth,

vWho maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

9  wHe giveth to the beast his food,

And xto the young ravens which cry.

10  He delighteth not in the strength of ythe horse:

He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

11  zThe Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him,

aIn those that hope in his mercy.

12  Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;

Praise thy God, O Zion.

13  For he hath strengthened bthe bars of thy gates;

He hath blessed thy children within thee.

14  †cHe maketh peace in thy borders,

And dfilleth thee with the †finest of the wheat.

15  eHe sendeth forth his commandment upon earth:

His word runneth very swiftly.

16  He giveth fsnow like wool:

He gscattereth the hhoarfrost like ashes.

17  He casteth forth his hiice like morsels:

Who can stand before his icold?

18  kHe sendeth out his word, and melteth them:

He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
