Psalms 147:12-20

12Praise the Lord, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!13For He has strengthened the 1bars of your gates; He has 2blessed your sons among you.14He 3makes 4peace in your borders; He 5satisfies you with 6the 7finest of the wheat.15He sends His 8command to the earth; His 9word runs very swiftly.16He 10showers 11snow like wool; He scatters the 12frost like ashes.17He hurls His 13ice as fragments; Who can stand before His 14cold?18He 15sends His word and makes them melt; He 16makes His wind blow, and the waters flow.19He 17declares His words to Jacob, His 18statutes and His judgments to Israel.20He 19has not dealt this way with any other nation; And as for His judgments, 20they have 21not known them. 22Praise 23the Lord!
