9. He gives animals their foodand feeds the young ravens when they call.
10. His pleasure is not in strong horses,nor his delight in brave soldiers;
11. but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,in those who trust in his constant love.
12. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!Praise your God, O Zion!
13. He keeps your gates strong;he blesses your people.
14. He keeps your borders safeand satisfies you with the finest wheat.
15. He gives a command to the earth,and what he says is quickly done.
16. He spreads snow like a blanketand scatters frost like dust.
17. He sends hail like gravel;no one can endure the cold he sends!
18. Then he gives a command, and the ice melts;he sends the wind, and the water flows.
