4 He telleth the number of the stars he calleth them all by their names ⚑

5 Great is our Lord and of great power his understanding is infinite ⚑

6 The LORD lifteth up the meek he casteth the wicked down to the ground ⚑

7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving sing praise upon the harp unto our God ⚑

8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds who prepareth rain for the earth who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains ⚑

9 He giveth to the beast his food and to the young ravens which cry ⚑

10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man ⚑
