12 Exalt the Lord, Jerusalem;praise your God, Zion!
13 For He strengthens the bars of your gatesand blesses your children within you.
14 He endows your territory with prosperity; He satisfies you with the finest wheat.
15 He sends His command throughout the earth;His word runs swiftly.
16 He spreads snow like wool;He scatters frost like ashes;
17 He throws His hailstones like crumbs.Who can withstand His cold?
18 He sends His word and melts them;He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
