[verse 13] As for the hills he vvatreth them from his Chambers on high, And with the fruits of his own works the earth doth satisfie. [verse 14] There makes he grasse for beasts to grow, and herb for mans use good, That out of the dead earth he may bring forth sufficient food.
[verse 15] And wine to glad mans heart, and oil to make the face shine fair, And Corn for bread, which may the strength of weak mans heart repair. [ 16]
