14 He (A)makes peace in your borders;
    he (B)fills you with the (C)finest of the wheat.
15 He (D)sends out his command to the earth;
    his word runs swiftly.
16 He gives (E)snow like wool;
    he scatters (F)frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his crystals of (G)ice like crumbs;
    who can stand before his (H)cold?
18 He (I)sends out his word, and melts them;
    he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.
19 He declares his word to Jacob,
    his (J)statutes and rules[a] to Israel.
20 He (K)has not dealt thus with any other nation;
    they do not know his rules.[b]
(L)Praise the Lord!
