10He takes no delight in the strength of a horse, and gains no pleasure in the runner's swiftness. 10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

17He casts down his ice crystals like bread fragments. Who can endure his freezing cold?17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18He sends out his word and melts them. He makes his wind blow and the water flows.18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

20He has not dealt with any other nation like this; they never knew his decrees. Hallelujah!20He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
