8 He covereth the heavens with clouds, [And] for [the] earth prepareth rain; The barren mountains doth refresh, That grass [on them] may grow again.
8 He covereth the heav'ns with clouds, [And] for [the] earth prepareth rain; The barren mountains doth refresh, That grass [on them] may grow again.
9 He gives the beasts their food, and feeds Young Ravens, which [for food] do cry;
10 His pleasure not in horses strength, Nor in [the strong] man's legs do lye.
11 But in all those who do him fear, The Lord [himself] doth pleasure take; And those that in his mercy hope, His [love] and grace will not forsake.
