12. Extol the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion.
13. He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you.
14. He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
15. He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
16. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
17. He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?
18. He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
19. He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel.
20. He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the Lord.
