Psalms 147:5-17

⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

⁶The LORD upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.

⁷Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God;

⁸Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.

⁹He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

¹⁰He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹¹The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that wait for His mercy.

¹²Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

¹³For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.

¹⁴He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.

¹⁵He sendeth out His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.

¹⁶He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

¹⁷He casteth forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold?
