12Jerusalem, praise the Lord! Zion, praise your God!
13He makes the bars on your city gates strong, and blesses your children around you.
14He keeps the borders of your land safe from attack; he provides you with plenty of the finest wheat.
15He sends his commands around the world—they're quickly implemented.
16He sends snow as white as wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
17He throws hail like stones. Who can stand the cold he sends?
18Then he sends out his command and it melts; he blows on it and the water flows.
19He proclaims his word to Jacob; his rules and laws to Israel.
20He has not done this for any other nation—they don't know his laws. Praise the Lord!
