Psalm 147

Laudate Dominum
12
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem *
praise thy God, O Sion.
13
For he hath made fast the bars of thy gates *
and hath blessed thy children within thee.
14
He maketh peace in thy borders *
and filleth thee with the flour of wheat.
15
He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth *
and his word runneth very swiftly.
16
He giveth snow like wool *
and scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
17
He casteth forth his ice like morsels *
who is able to abide his frost?
18
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them *
he bloweth with his wind, and the waters flow.
19
He sheweth his word unto Jacob *
his statutes and ordinances unto Israel.
20
He hath not dealt so with any nation *
neither have the heathen knowledge of his laws.
