Psalm 147:9-11
New English Translation
9 He gives food to the animals,
and to the young ravens when they chirp.[a]
10 He is not enamored with the strength of a horse,
nor is he impressed by the warrior’s strong legs.[b]
11 The Lord takes delight in his faithful followers,[c]
and in those who wait for his loyal love.
