147:12Extol the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
147:13For he makes the bars of your gates strong.
He blesses your children13 within you.
147:14He14 brings peace to your territory.15
He abundantly provides for you16 the best grain.
147:15He17 sends his command through the earth;18
swiftly his order reaches its destination.19
147:16He sends the snow that is white like wool;
he spreads the frost that is white like ashes.20
147:17He throws his hailstones21 like crumbs.
Who can withstand the cold wind he sends?22
147:18He then orders it all to melt;23
he breathes on it,24 and the water flows.
147:19He proclaims his word to Jacob,
his statutes and regulations to Israel.
147:20He has not done so with any other nation;
they are not aware of his regulations.
Praise the Lord!

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.

who can stand before his cold?

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!

Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates
and blessed your children within your walls.
He sends peace across your nation
and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat.
He sends his orders to the world—

He has revealed his words to Jacob,
his decrees and regulations to Israel.
He has not done this for any other nation;
they do not know his regulations.
Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;
Praise thy God, O Zion.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;
He hath blessed thy children within thee.
He maketh peace in thy borders,
And filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

And as for his judgments, they have not known them.
Praise ye the Lord.
