7Sing songs of thanks to the Lord, and play on the lyre to our God.
8For he covers the sky with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, makes grass to grow on the mountains.
9He gives the cattle their food the young ravens when they cry.
10His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, his joy is not in the speed of a runner;
11but the Lord has his pleasure in those who fear him, in those who wait for his kindness.
12Praise the Lord, then, O Jerusalem: sing praise to your God, O Zion.
13For he strengthens the bars of your gates, and blesses your children within you.
14He brings peace to your borders, and choicest of wheat in abundance.
15He sends his command to the earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16Snow he gives like wool, frost he scatters like ashes.
17He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18He sends forth his word, and melts them: his wind blows the waters flow.
19He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgements to Israel.
20No other nation did he do this for, they know nothing of his judgements. Hallelujah.
