Psalms

Chapter 147

  1. 1

    Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion.

  2. 2

    For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.

  3. 3

    He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.

  4. 4

    He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.

  5. 5

    He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.

  6. 6

    He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?

  7. 7

    He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.

  8. 8

    He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.

  9. 9

    He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.
