9. He gives food to the wild animalsand feeds the young ravens when they cry.
10. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horseor in human might.
11. No, the lord’s delight is in those who fear him,those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
12. Glorify the lord, O Jerusalem!Praise your God, O Zion!
13. For he has strengthened the bars of your gatesand blessed your children within your walls.
14. He sends peace across your nationand satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat.
15. He sends his orders to the world—how swiftly his word flies!
16. He sends the snow like white wool;he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
17. He hurls the hail like stones.Who can stand against his freezing cold?
18. Then, at his command, it all melts.He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.
19. He has revealed his words to Jacob,his decrees and regulations to Israel.
20. He has not done this for any other nation;they do not know his regulations.Praise the lord!
