He giveth snow like wool:
and scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
He casteth forth his ice like morsels:
who is able to abide his frost?
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:
he bloweth with his wind, and the waters flow.
He healeth those that are broken in heart:
and giveth medicine to heal their sickness.
He telleth the number of the stars:
and calleth them all by their names.
Psalm 147
