Context of Psalms 147:19
17He throws hail from the sky, like small stones. When he sends a cold wind, nobody can continue to stand. 18Then he commands it all to melt. He makes the warm wind blow, and the ice becomes streams of water. He sends his message to Jacob's descendants. He gives his rules and laws to Israel's people. 20He has not done that for any other nation. They do not know his laws. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
