And binds up their [fn]wounds.

Sing praises to our God on the lyre;

Who provides rain for the earth,

Who makes grass sprout on the mountains.

It is He who gives an animal its food,

And feeds young ravens that cry.

Those who wait for His [fn]faithfulness.

He makes [fn]peace in your borders;

He satisfies you with the [fn]finest of the wheat.

He sends His command to the earth;

His word runs very swiftly.

He [fn]showers snow like wool;

He scatters the frost like ashes.

He hurls His ice as fragments;

Who can stand before His cold?

He sends His word and makes them melt;

He makes His wind blow, and the waters flow.

He declares His words to Jacob,

His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

He has not dealt this way with any other nation;

And as for His judgments, [fn]they have not known them.

[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD!
