Psalm 147
Laudate Dominum
12
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; *
praise your God, O Zion.
13
For he has made strong the bars of your gates *
and has blessed your children within you.
14
He makes peace in your borders *
and fills you with the finest of wheat.
15
He sends forth his commandment upon the earth, *
and his word runs very swiftly.
16
He gives snow like wool *
and scatters the white frost like ashes.
17
He casts forth his ice like crumbs; *
who is able to abide his frost?
18
He sends out his word and melts them; *
he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.
19
He declares his word unto Jacob, *
his statutes and ordinances unto Israel.
20
He has not dealt so with other nations; *
neither have they knowledge of his laws. Praise the Lord.
