Salmene 147,13

11 Herren gleder seg i dem som frykter Ham,
De som håper på Hans miskunn.

12 Lov Herren, Jerusalem!
Ære din Gud, Sion!

For Han har styrket bommene i dine porter;
Han har velsignet dine barn i deg.

14 Han gir fred innenfor dine grenser;
Han metter deg med den beste hvete.

15 Han sender sin befaling til jorden;
Hans ord løper raskt.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
