9 El sang nu sin kosro ma nalos, Ac kite won raven fusr ke elos pang.
He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
10 LEUM GOD El tia insewowo ke horse ku, El tia pac engankin mwet mweun pulaik;

19 El fahkak kas lal nu sin mwet lal — Mwe luti lal ac ma sap lal nu sin Israel.
He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
20 El tia oru ouinge nu sin kutena mutunfacl saya. Elos tia etu ma sap lal. Kaksakin LEUM GOD!
