6. The Lord upholds the humble.He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving.Sing praises on the harp to our God,
8. who covers the sky with clouds,who prepares rain for the earth,who makes grass grow on the mountains.
9. He provides food for the livestock,and for the young ravens when they call.
10. He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse.He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11. The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem!Praise your God, Zion!
13. For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.He has blessed your children within you.
14. He makes peace in your borders.He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15. He sends out his commandment to the earth.His word runs very swiftly.
16. He gives snow like wool,and scatters frost like ashes.
17. He hurls down his hail like pebbles.Who can stand before his cold?
