Psalms 147:13
11 The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
12 Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
14 He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
