who covers the sky with clouds,
prepares rain for the earth,
and causes grass to grow on the hills.(A)
He provides the animals with their food,
and the young ravens, what they cry for.(B)

10 He is not impressed by the strength of a horse;
He does not value the power[a] of a man.(C)
11 The Lord values those who fear Him,
those who put their hope in His faithful love.(D)

12 Exalt the Lord, Jerusalem;
praise your God, Zion!(E)
13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses your children within you.(F)
14 He endows your territory with prosperity;[b](G)
He satisfies you with the finest wheat.(H)
