Psalms 147:12-20

12PraiseH7623 the LordH3068, O JerusalemH3389; praiseH1984 thy GodH430, O ZionH6726.

13For he hath strengthenedH2388 the barsH1280 of thy gatesH8179; he hath blessedH1288 thy childrenH1121 withinH7130 thee.

14He makethH7760 peaceH7965 in thy bordersH1366, and fillethH7646 thee with the finestH2459 of the wheatH2406.12

15He sendeth forthH7971 his commandmentH565 upon earthH776: his wordH1697 runnethH7323 very swiftlyH4120.

16He givethH5414 snowH7950 like woolH6785: he scatterethH6340 the hoarfrostH3713 like ashesH665.

17He casteth forthH7993 his iceH7140 like morselsH6595: who can standH5975 beforeH6440 his coldH7135?

18He sendeth outH7971 his wordH1697, and meltethH4529 them: he causeth his windH7307 to blowH5380, and the watersH4325 flowH5140.

19He shewethH5046 his wordH1697 unto JacobH3290, his statutesH2706 and his judgmentsH4941 unto IsraelH3478.3

20He hath not dealtH6213 so with any nationH1471: and as for his judgmentsH4941, they have not knownH3045 them. PraiseH1984 ye the LordH3050.
