Psalms 147:20

18 He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.

19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.

He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!

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.
