He gives the cattle their food the young ravens when they cry.
10 Eƒe dzidzɔ mele sɔ ƒe ŋusẽ me loo, alo amegbetɔ ƒe afɔ me o;
His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, his joy is not in the speed of a runner;

but the Lord has his pleasure in those who fear him, in those who wait for his kindness.

Praise the Lord, then, O Jerusalem: sing praise to your God, O Zion.
13 elabena eyae glã wò agbowo ƒe gametiwo, eye wòyra ame siwo le mewò.
For he strengthens the bars of your gates, and blesses your children within you.
14 Ena ŋutifafa le wò liƒowo dzi, eye wòtsɔ mɔlu nyuitɔ ɖi ƒo na wòe.
He brings peace to your borders, and choicest of wheat in abundance.
15 Eɖo eƒe sedede ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye eƒe nya kaka kple du ɖo teƒewo.
He sends his command to the earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16 Ekaka tsikpe abe ɖetifu ene, eye wòkaka afu abe dzofi ene.
Snow he gives like wool, frost he scatters like ashes.
17 Eɖo kpetsi ɖe anyigba abe kpekui ene. Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wò ya fafɛ la nu?
He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 Edɔ eƒe nya ɖa, eye wòlolo wo. Ede ŋusẽ eƒe yawo me, eye tsiwo de asi sisi me.
He sends forth his word, and melts them: his wind blows the waters flow.
19 Eɖe eƒe nya fia Yakob eye wòɖe eƒe sewo kple sededewo fia Israel.
He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgments to Israel.
20 Mewɔ esia na dukɔ bubu aɖeke o, eye womenya eƒe sewo o. Mikafu Yehowa.
No other nation did he do this for, they know nothing of his judgments. Hallelujah.
