Context of Psalms 147:7

5How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! 6The Lord supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord; sing praises to our God with a harp. 8He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. 9He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry.
