Context Summary
Psalm 147:12–20 calls on Jerusalem—also known as Zion (2 Samuel 7:5; 1 Kings 8:1)—and its people to thank God for His work on their behalf. Thanks to God, Israel has the opportunity to experience peace and prosperity. Only Israel, God's chosen people (Deuteronomy 7:6) were blessed to be directly given the Lord's commands (Ex-odus 19:5–6).
