147:5  Great is our Lord and mighty in power— His understanding is infinite!
147:6  Adonai upholds the humble. He brings the wicked to the ground.
147:7  Sing to Adonai with thanksgiving. Sing praises to our God on the harp.

147:16  He gives snow like wool. He scatters frost like ashes.
147:17  He hurls down His hail like pebbles— who can stand before His cold?

147:19  He declares His word to Jacob, His decrees and His rulings to Israel.
147:20  He has not done so with any other nation. They have not known His judgments. Halleluyah!
