Psalm 147. Lauda Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
Because He hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates: He hath blessed thy children within thee.
Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
Who sendeth forth His speech to the earth: His word runneth swiftly.
Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mist like ashes.
He sendeth his ice like morsels: who shall stand before His cold?
He shall send out His word, and shall melt them: His wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
Who declareth His word to Jacob: His justices, and His judgments to Israel.
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and His judgments He hath not made manifest to them.
