3Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
4Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

6He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
6Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.
6 Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth.
7He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
7Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.
7 Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto ourGod:
8Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
8Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up <FI>on<Fi> mountains,
8 Who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains;
9He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
9Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
9 Who giveth to the cattle their food, to the young ravens which cry.
