Psalm 147 is a hymn of praise, likely sung after the return from exile, and verse 12 turns the call to praise toward the city itself. Jerusalem and Zion are addressed as a person, summoned to exalt the LORD because of what the previous verses have described: God rebuilding the city, gathering the exiles, healing the brokenhearted, and providing rain and food.
