| Psa. 147:7 |
Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; / Sing psalms to our God with the lyre; |
| Psa. 147:8 |
Who covers the heavens with clouds, / Who prepares rain for the earth, / Who causes grass to grow on the mountains, |
| Psa. 147:9 |
Who gives to the beast its food, / [And] to the young ravens who cry. |
| Psa. 147:10 |
He takes no delight in the strength of horses; / Nor pleasure in the legs of man. |

He gives snow like wool; / He scatters frost like ashes; |
| Psa. 147:17 |
He casts His hail like crumbs-- / Who can stand before His cold? |

| Psa. 147:19 |
He declares His word to Jacob, / His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. |
| Psa. 147:20 |
He has not dealt so with any [other] nation; / And as for His ordinances, they have not known them. / Hallelujah! |
