3. Heals the brokenhearted, binds up their wounds,
|
3. He healeth H7495 the broken H7665 in heart H3820 , and bindeth up H2280 their wounds H6094 .

10. God takes no delight in the strength of horses, no pleasure in the runner's stride.

|
15. He sendeth forth H7971 his commandment H565 upon earth H776 : his word H1697 runneth H7323 very H5704 swiftly H4120 .
|
|
16. Thus snow is spread like wool, frost is scattered like ash,
|
16. He giveth H5414 snow H7950 like wool H6785 : he scattereth H6340 the hoarfrost H3713 like ashes H665 .
|

18. Again he sends his word and they melt; the wind is unleashed and the waters flow.
|
18. He sendeth out H7971 his word H1697 , and melteth H4529 them : he causeth his wind H7307 to blow H5380 , and the waters H4325 flow H5140 .
