Psalm 147:12-20
Sixth Day of Christmas
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you.14 He grants peace within your borders; he fills you with the finest of wheat.15 He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.16 He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes.17 He hurls down hail like crumbs— who can stand before his cold?18 He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow, and the waters flow.19 He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and ordinances to Israel.20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his ordinances.Praise the Lord!
