He bcauses His wind to blow and so the waters flow,

19Who adeclares His words to Jacob,

His bstatutes and His judgments to Israel.

20He ahas not done so with any nation;

So as for His judgments, they have bnot known them.

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!

Praise your God, O Zion!

For he strengthens the bars of your gates;

he blesses your children within you.

He makes peace in your borders;

he fills you with the finest of the wheat.

He sends out his command to the earth;

his word runs swiftly.

He gives snow like wool;

he scatters frost like ashes.

He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs;

who can stand before his cold?

He sends out his word, and melts them;

he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.

He declares his word to Jacob,

his statutes and rules to Israel.

He has not dealt thus with any other nation;

they do not know his rules.

Praise the Lord!

his word runs swiftly.

his laws and decrees to Israel.

He has done this for no other nation;

they do not know his laws.

And as for his judgments, they have not known them.

Praise ye the Lord.
