| 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. |
