13 Because He giveth strength unto ‖ the bars that keep thy gates; ‖ on thy Sons in the midst of thee ‖ His blessing He bestows. ‖
14 He makes thy borders to enjoy ‖ peace and prosperity; ‖ richly He doth supply thee with ‖ the finest of the wheat. ‖
15 He to the Earth sends His command; ‖ His Word does swiftly run. ‖
16 The Snow He gives like wool; the Frost ‖ He does like ashes cast. ‖
17 The Ice* and Hail like morsels, He‖throws down to nourish it;‖Before the Face of His sharp Cold, ‖ who is there that can stand?‖
