Psalm 147

Psalm 147, verse 1. Alleluia; of Aggeus and Zacharias.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;
Praise your God, O Zion,
Psalm 147, verse 2. For He strengthens the bars of your gates;
He blesses your children within you;
Psalm 147, verse 3. He who grants your borders peace,
And fills you with the finest of wheat;
Psalm 147, verse 4. He who sends His teaching to earth
Until His word shall run swiftly,
Psalm 147, verse 5. Giving snow like wool,
Sprinkling mist like ashes,
Psalm 147, verse 6. Casting His ice like morsels;
Who shall withstand His winter?
Psalm 147, verse 7. He shall send His word and melt them;
His wind shall blow, and the waters shall flow,
Psalm 147, verse 8. He who declares His word to Jacob,
His ordinances and judgments to Israel.
Psalm 147, verse 9. He did not do so with other nations,
Nor did He show His judgments to them.
