147:6 Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.

147:7 Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,

147:8 Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

147:9 He giveth to the beast his food, [And] to the young ravens which cry.

147:15 He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.

147:16 He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold?

147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

147:19 He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.
