7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp to our God:

8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.
19 He showeth his word to Jacob, his statutes and his judgments to Israel.
He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his] judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
