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 makes peace in your borders;he fills you with the finest of the 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 his crystals of ice 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.
