Psalms 147:8-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 147
8 It is He who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass sprout on the mountains. 9 It is He who gives an animal its food, And feeds young ravens that cry. 10He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man. 11The Lord favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His faithfulness. 12Praise the Lord, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion! 13For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons among you. 14He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat. 15He sends His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. 16He showers snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes. 17He hurls His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold?King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 147
8who covers the sky with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, and causes grass to grow on the hills.
9He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens, what they cry for.
10He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; he does not value the power of a warrior.
New Living Translation
Chapter 147
8He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. 9He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. 10He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. 11No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
12Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls.
14He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat.
15He sends his orders to the world — how swiftly his word flies!
16He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
17He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold?
English Standard Version
Chapter 147
8He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. 9He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. 10His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, 11but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. 12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you. 14He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. 15He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. 16He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes. 17He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold?New International Version

10His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
