\q2 He is bringing back the people who were taken to other lands.
|
|

|
|
|
\s5
|
|

\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 He covers the sky with clouds,

\q2 and then he sends rain to the earth
|
|
\q2 and causes grass to grow on the hills.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 He gives to animals the food that they need;
|
|
\q2 he gives food to young crows when they cry out because they are hungry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 He is not impressed with strong horses
|
|
\q2 or with men who can run fast.
|
|

\v 11 Instead, what pleases him are those who have an awesome respect for him,
|
|

|
|
\q2 his words quickly reach the place to which he sends them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 He sends snow to cover the ground like a white wool blanket,
|
|
\q2 and he scatters frost on the ground as wind scatters ashes.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 He sends hail down like pebbles;
|
|
\q2 when that happens, it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 But he commands the wind to blow, and it blows.
|
|
\q2 Then the hail melts and the water flows into the streams.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|

|
\q2 he tells to his Israelite people the things that he has decreed and what he has decided.
|
|
\q1

\v 20 He has not done that for any other nation;
