Psalms 147
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
1() Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion. 2() Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates: he hath blessed thy children within thee. 3() Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn. 4() Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly. 5() Who giveth snow like wool; scattereth mist like ashes. 6() He sendeth his chrystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold? 7() He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run. 8() Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel. 9() He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
