147:1 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
147:2 Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
147:3 Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
147:4 Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
147:5 Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
147:6 He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
147:7 He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
147:8 Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
147:9 He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
