 sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
8  Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth *
 and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, and herb for the use of men;
9  Who giveth fodder unto the cattle *
 and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him.
10  He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse *

 and his word runneth very swiftly.

 who is able to abide his frost?

 he bloweth with his wind, and the waters flow.

 his statutes and ordinances unto Israel.
20  He hath not dealt so with any nation *
 neither have the heathen knowledge of his laws.
