Psalms 147:14

12 Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!

13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.

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.

16 He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
