17 Like morsels he casts forth his ice, Who in his [extream] cold can live?
18 He sendeth out his word of power, And [quickly] melteth them again; ⟨p. 252⟩He makes his wind to blow, and then The waters flow with [plenteous] rain.
19 The Doctrine of his Holy Word To Jacob he doth [clearly] show; His statutes and his judgments he Makes [his own] Israel to know.
20 He with no nation thus hath dealt, His judgments and his [holy] word To none of them are thus made known; Ye therefore praise the [glorious] Lord.
