6 | The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground. |
7 | Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument. |
8 | He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men. |
9 | He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him. |
10 | He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man. |
