Psalm 147:18-20
The Message
12-18 Jerusalem, worship God!
Zion, praise your God!
He made your city secure,
he blessed your children among you.
He keeps the peace at your borders,
he puts the best bread on your tables.
He launches his promises earthward—
how swift and sure they come!
He spreads snow like a white fleece,
he scatters frost like ashes,
He broadcasts hail like birdseed—
who can survive his winter?
Then he gives the command and it all melts;
he breathes on winter—suddenly it’s spring!
19-20 He speaks the same way to Jacob,
speaks words that work to Israel.
He never did this to the other nations;
they never heard such commands.
Hallelujah!
Psalm 147:18-20
New International Version
19 He has revealed his word(C) to Jacob,(D)
his laws and decrees(E) to Israel.
20 He has done this for no other nation;(F)
they do not know(G) his laws.[a]
Praise the Lord.(H)
