The Book of Psalms
Chapter 147
1 – Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
13 – Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 – Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
15 – Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
16 – Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
17 – He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
18 – He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
19 – Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 – He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
