Psalms 147:7
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
6 The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
9 He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
