Praise your God, Zion! 13For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons among you. 14He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat. 15He sends His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. 16He showers snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.King James Version

14He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
