He covers the sky with clouds;(A)
    he supplies the earth with rain(B)
    and makes grass grow(C) on the hills.
He provides food(D) for the cattle
    and for the young ravens(E) when they call.

10 His pleasure is not in the strength(F) of the horse,(G)
    nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
11 the Lord delights(H) in those who fear him,(I)
    who put their hope(J) in his unfailing love.(K)

12 Extol the Lord, Jerusalem;(L)
    praise your God, Zion.

13 He strengthens the bars of your gates(M)
    and blesses your people(N) within you.
14 He grants peace(O) to your borders
    and satisfies you(P) with the finest of wheat.(Q)

15 He sends his command(R) to the earth;
    his word runs(S) swiftly.

    and scatters the frost(U) like ashes.
17 He hurls down his hail(V) like pebbles.
    Who can withstand his icy blast?
