verse 9 To beasts their food, to ravens young who giveth when they cry. verse 10 His pleasure not in horses strong nor in mans legs doth lie. verse 11 Who fear the Lord he joys in them, whose hope on's mercy stays. verse 12 The Lord praise O Jerusalem, thy God O Zion praise.

verse 13 For thy gates bars he hath made strong thy children in thee blest. ⟨p. 361⟩verse 14 He maketh peace thy coasts along, thee fills with wheat o'th' best. verse 15 He forth on earth sends his decree, his word is swiftly past. verse 16 He giveth snow like wool, and he doth frost as ashes cast.
verse 17 Like morsels forth he sends his ice who can his cold sustain? verse 18 He sendeth forth his word likewise, and melteth them again; verse 19 His wind he causeth for to blow and then the waters flow. He Jacob did his word, his laws, and judgments Israel show.
