147:17 He throws his hailstones 1 like crumbs.
Who can withstand the cold wind he sends? 2
147:18 He then orders it all to melt; 3
he breathes on it, 4 and the water flows.
147:19 He proclaims his word to Jacob,
his statutes and regulations to Israel.
147:20 He has not done so with any other nation;
they are not aware of his regulations.
Praise the Lord!
