He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 ヱホバはそのみことばをヤコブに示し そのもろもろの律法とその審判とをイスラエルにしめしたまふ
He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

He has not done this for just any nation. They do not know his ordinances. Praise the LORD.
