9 Who giveth fodder unto the cattle : and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him. 10 He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse : neither delighteth he in any man's legs. 11 But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him : and put their trust in his mercy. 12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem : praise thy God, O Sion. 13 For he hath made fast the bars of thy gates : and hath blessed thy children within thee. 14 He maketh peace in thy borders : and filleth thee with the flour of wheat. 15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth : and his word runneth very swiftly. 16 He giveth snow like wool : and scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. 17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels : who is able to abide his frost ? 18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them : he bloweth with his wind, and the waters flow. 19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob : his statutes and ordinances unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation : neither have the heathen knowledge of his laws.

PSALM CXLIX. Cantate Domino. O : let the congregation of saints praise him. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him : and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his Name in the dance : let them sing praises unto him with tabret him . and harp. 4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people : and helpeth the meek-hearted. 5 Let the saints be joyful with glory : let them rejoice in their beds. 6 Let the praises of God be in their mouth : and a two-edged sword in their hands; 7 To be avenged of the heathen : and to rebuke the people; 8 To bind their kings in chains : and their nobles with links of iron. 9 That they may be avenged of them, as it is written : Such honour have all his saints. PSALM CL. Laudate Dominum. O PRAISE God in his holiness : praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him in his noble acts : praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him in the sound of the trumpet : praise him upon the lute and harp. 4 Praise him in the cymbals and dances : praise him upon the strings and pipe. 5 Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals : praise him upon the loud cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath : praise the Lord.
