Psalm 147: 12-20 (NIVUK)
12
Extol the Lord, Jerusalem;
praise your God, Zion.13
He strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses your people within you.14
He grants peace to your borders
and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.15
He sends his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.16
He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.17
He hurls down hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?18
He sends his word and melts them;
he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.19
He has revealed his word to Jacob,
his laws and decrees to Israel.20
He has done this for no other nation;
they do not know his laws.Praise the Lord.
Lord God,
You are so far beyond our comprehension
and yet you are not far from our lives.
You spread snow like wool!
Frost like ashes!
And yet you stoop
to give ear
to prop us up
to hold us close.
In your son Jesus Christ we get to glimpse
hailmaker, snow weaver, frost scatterer,
in flesh and blood,
with tender hands
and loving arms.
In your Holy Spirit we get to glimpse
your nature drawn out and reflected
in the actions of one another
God amongst us.
In awe,
in gratitude,
in wonder,
in hope
we cry:
Amen!
