Psalms 147:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 147:12

10 ^aHe does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His mercy.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!

13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your children within you.

14 ^aHe makes peace in your borders,
And ^bfills you with the finest wheat.

15 ^aHe sends out His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly.

16 ^aHe gives snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes;

17 He casts out His hail like¹ morsels;
Who can stand before His cold?

18 ^aHe sends out His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

19 ^aHe declares His word to Jacob,
^bHis statutes and His judgments to Israel.

20 ^aHe has not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His judgments, they have not known them.
¹Praise the Lord!
