12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!Praise your God, O Zion!
13 He keeps your gates strong;he blesses your people.
14 He keeps your borders safeand satisfies you with the finest wheat.
15 He gives a command to the earth,and what he says is quickly done.
16 He spreads snow like a blanketand scatters frost like dust.
17 He sends hail like gravel;no one can endure the cold he sends!
18 Then he gives a command, and the ice melts;he sends the wind, and the water flows.
