Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
8 Ka Mea i uhi i ka lani i na ao, Ka Mea i hoomakaukau i ka ua no ka honua, Ka Mea i hooulu mai i ka mauu, maluna o na mauna.
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
9 Haawi mai no oia i ka ai na ka holoholona, Na ka poe koraka hoi, na ka mea kahea aku ia ia.
He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
10 Aole ia e lealea i ka ikaika o ka lio, Aole ia e hauoli hoi i na wawae o ke kanaka.

18 Hoouna mai oia i kana olelo, a hoohehee ia lakou; Hoohuai mai oia i kona makani, a kahe iho la na wai.
He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20 Aole ia i hana pela i ko na aina e a pau; O kana hooponopono ana, aole lakou i ike mai ia. E halelu aku oukou ia Iehova.
He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise the LORD!
