Psalm 147:8-10
New English Translation
8 He covers[a] the sky with clouds,
provides the earth with rain,
and causes grass to grow on the hillsides.[b]
9 He gives food to the animals,
and to the young ravens when they chirp.[c]
10 He is not enamored with the strength of a horse,
nor is he impressed by the warrior’s strong legs.[d]
