Psalm 147:12-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
¹³ For He has strengthened the ^(A)bars of your gates;
He has ^(B)blessed your sons within you.
¹⁴ He ^(C)makes ^[a]peace in your borders;
He ^(D)satisfies you with ^(E)the ^[b]finest of the wheat.
¹⁵ He sends forth His ^(F)command to the earth;
His ^(G)word runs very swiftly.
¹⁶ He gives ^(H)snow like wool;
He scatters the ^(I)frost like ashes.
¹⁷ He casts forth His ^(J)ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His ^(K)cold?
¹⁸ He ^(L)sends forth His word and melts them;
He ^(M)causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.
¹⁹ He ^(N)declares His words to Jacob,
His ^(O)statutes and His ordinances to Israel.
²⁰ He ^(P)has not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His ordinances, they have ^(Q)not known them.
^[c]Praise ^[d]the Lord!
