8Who covereth the heavens with clouds,

Who prepareth rain for the earth,

Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

9He giveth to the beast his food,

And to the young ravens which cry.

10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:

He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

11Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him,

In those that hope in his lovingkindness.

12Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem;

Praise thy God, O Zion.

13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;

He hath blessed thy children within thee.

14He maketh peace in thy borders;

He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

15He sendeth out his commandment upon earth;

His word runneth very swiftly.

16He giveth snow like wool;

He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

17He casteth forth his ice like morsels:

Who can stand before his cold?

18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:

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