Psalms 147:8

Read in context

Psalms 147:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.

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

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

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

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