Who giveth food to all flesh;\par\tab For his lovingkindness {\i endureth} for ever.

He giveth to the beast his food,\par\tab {\i And} to the young ravens which cry.
Let their way be dark and slippery,\par\tab And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food,\par\tab Where all the beasts of the field do play.
Who provideth for the raven his prey,\par\tab When his young ones cry unto God,\par\tab {\i And} wander for lack of food?\par
