Psalms 147:12-20

12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!13For He has strengthened the 1bars of your gates; He has 2blessed your sons within you.14He 3makes 4peace in your borders; He 5satisfies you with 6the 7finest of the wheat.15He sends forth His 8command to the earth; His 9word runs very swiftly.16He gives 10snow like wool; He scatters the 11frost like ashes.17He casts forth His 12ice as fragments; Who can stand before His 13cold?18He 14sends forth His word and melts them; He 15causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.19He 16declares His words to Jacob, His 17statutes and His ordinances to Israel.20He 18has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they have 19not known them. 20Praise 21the Lord!
