8 Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:

Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.

Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
17 He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?
He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
18 He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.
He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
19 He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.
Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
