Psalms 147:12-20

12Extol the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!

13For he makes the bars of your gates strong. He blesses your children within you.

14He brings peace to your territory. He abundantly provides for you the best grain.

15He sends his command through the earth; swiftly his order reaches its destination.

16He sends the snow that is white like wool; he spreads the frost that is white like ashes.

17He throws his hailstones like crumbs. Who can withstand the cold wind he sends?

18He then orders it all to melt; he breathes on it, and the water flows.

19He proclaims his word to Jacob, his statutes and regulations to Israel.

20He has not done so with any other nation; they are not aware of his regulations. Praise the Lord!
