Psalm 147:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

8 [a]Who covers the heavens with clouds,
    provides rain for the earth,
    makes grass sprout on the mountains,(A)
9 Who gives animals their food
    and young ravens what they cry for.(B)
10 [b]He takes no delight in the strength of horses,
    no pleasure in the runner’s stride.(C)
