    Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

  • 9

    He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

  • 10

    He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

    He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

  • 17

    He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

    He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

    He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
