11 God delyghteth in them that feare him: and in them that put their trust in his mercie. but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

18 He sendeth foorth his worde and melteth them: he bloweth with his winde, and the waters flowe. He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow. He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
