6 The Lord does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the depths.^(F)

He makes lightning for the rain
and brings the wind from his storehouses.^(G)

both people and animals.^(H)

your reputation, Lord,
through all generations.^(M)

and have compassion on his servants.^(N)

made by human hands.^(O)

as are all who trust in them.^(R)
