Psalm 147:12-18

English Standard Version

¹² Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
    Praise your God, O Zion!
¹³ For he strengthens ^(A)the bars of your gates;
    he blesses your children within you.
¹⁴ He ^(B)makes peace in your borders;
    he ^(C)fills you with the ^(D)finest of the wheat.
¹⁵ He ^(E)sends out his command to the earth;
    his word runs swiftly.
¹⁶ He gives ^(F)snow like wool;
    he scatters ^(G)frost like ashes.
¹⁷ He hurls down his crystals of ^(H)ice like crumbs;
    who can stand before his ^(I)cold?
¹⁸ He ^(J)sends out his word, and melts them;
    he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.
