Psalms 147:7-11

Psalms 147

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

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

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

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

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

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