8. He covers the sky with clouds. He provides rain for the earth. He makes grass sprout on the hills.
9. He gives food to the cattle and to the young ravens which cry.
10. He delights not in the horse’s strength, nor takes pleasure in a man’s legs.
11. Adonai delights in those who revere Him, in those who trust in His lovingkindness.
12. Exalt Adonai, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13. For He strengthens the bars of your gates. He blesses your children within you.
14. He puts shalom within your borders. He satisfies you with the finest wheat.
15. He sends earth His command— His word runs swiftly.
16. He gives snow like wool. He scatters frost like ashes.
17. He hurls down His hail like pebbles— who can stand before His cold?
18. He sends forth His word and melts them. He makes His wind blow and waters flow.
