8. He fills the sky with clouds. He sends rain to the earth. He makes the grass grow on the mountains.
9. He gives food to the animals. He feeds the young birds that cry out.
10. War horses and powerful soldiers are not what he cares about.
11. The Lord enjoys people who worship him and trust in his faithful love.
12. Jerusalem, praise the Lord! Zion, praise your God!
13. He makes your gates strong, and he blesses the people in your city.
14. He brought peace to your country, so you have plenty of grain for food.
15. He gives a command to the earth, and it quickly obeys.
16. He makes the snow fall until the ground is as white as wool. He makes sleet blow through the air like dust.
17. He makes hail fall like rocks from the sky. No one can stand the cold he sends.
18. Then he gives another command, and warm air begins to blow. The ice melts, and water begins to flow.
19. He gave his commands to Jacob. He gave his laws and rules to Israel.
