Psalms, chapter 147

1. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
2. Because He hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, He hath blessed thy children within thee.
3. Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
4. Who sendeth forth His speech to the earth: His word runneth swiftly.
5. Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
6. He sendeth His crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
7. He shall send out His word, and shall melt them: His wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
8. Who declareth His word to Jacob: his justices and His judgments to Israel.
9. He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and His judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
11. Yahweh taketh pleasure in them that fear Him,
in them that hope in His goodness.
12. Jerusalem, praise Yahweh;
Sion, praise Thy God.
13. For He strengtheneth the bars of thy gates,
He blesseth thy children within thee;
14. He maketh peace in thy borders,
He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15. He sendeth His commands upon the earth;
His word runneth swiftly.
16. He giveth snow like wool,
He scattereth hoarfrost like ashes.
17. He casteth forth His hailstones by pieces:
who can stand before His cold?
18. He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them;
He maketh His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19. He hath revealed His word unto Jacob,
His laws and His ordinances unto Israel.
20. He hath not done so with any other nation;
they know not His ordinances.
Alleluia!
