Psalms 147:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

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

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

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

12 Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
