[verse 13] As for the hills he vvatreth themfrom his Chambers on high,And with the fruits of his own worksthe 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 maybring forth sufficient food.
[verse 15] And wine to glad mans heart, and oilto make the face shine fair,And Corn for bread, which may the strengthof weak mans heart repair. [ 16]
