Psalms 147:7-11

Psalms 147

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,

8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.

9 He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.

10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

11 The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
