Psalms 147:12-20 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. Glorify the Lord, Jerusalem;Zion, offer praise to your God,

13. For he has strengthened the bars of your gates,blessed your children within you.

14. He brings peace to your borders,and satisfies you with finest wheat.

15. He sends his command to earth;his word runs swiftly!

16. Thus he makes the snow like wool,and spreads the frost like ash;

17. He disperses hail like crumbs.Who can withstand his cold?

18. Yet when again he issues his command, it melts them;he raises his winds and the waters flow.

19. He proclaims his word to Jacob,his statutes and laws to Israel.

20. He has not done this for any other nation;of such laws they know nothing.Hallelujah!
