Context of Psalms 147:19
17He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold? 18He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. 20He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise the Lord!
