He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 147 of Psalms. Psalm 147 celebrates the God who restores Jerusalem and simultaneously governs the stars. The combination of cosmic and local dimensions shows that the same Lord who counts the stars also heals the brokenhearted. The provision of rain, food, and snow demonstrates his care for creation. Israel’s privilege consists in receiving his words and decrees, so election and responsibility appear connected.

Er gibt Schnee wie Wolle, er streut Reif wie Asche.
Él da la nieve como lana, Derrama la escarcha como ceniza.
Da la nieve como lana y esparce la escarcha como ceniza.
Il donne la neige comme de la laine, Il répand la gelée blanche comme de la cendre;
Che manda la neve a guisa di lana; Che sparge la brina a guisa di cenere;
O que dá a neve como lã; esparge a geada como cinza;
他降雪如羊毛, 撒霜如灰燼。
