Psalm 147:8-17
New King James Version
8 (A)Who covers the heavens with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the earth,
Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
9 (B)He gives to the beast its food,
And (C)to the young ravens that cry.
10 (D)He does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your children within you.
14 (E)He makes peace in your borders,
And (F)fills you with [a]the finest wheat.
15 (G)He sends out His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly.
16 (H)He gives snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes;
17 He casts out His hail like [b]morsels;
Who can stand before His cold?
