Psalms 147:11-16 New Century Version (NCV)

11. The Lord is pleased with those who respect him,with those who trust his love.

12. Jerusalem, praise the Lord;Jerusalem, praise your God.

13. He makes your city gates strongand blesses your children inside.

14. He brings peace to your countryand fills you with the finest grain.

15. He gives a command to the earth,and it quickly obeys him.

16. He spreads the snow like wooland scatters the frost like ashes.
