The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
|
7
|
Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
|
8
|
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
|
9
|
Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
|
10

He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.

He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
|

|

|
Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
|
20
|
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
