Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggæus and Zacharias.
1
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Sion.
2
For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy children within thee.
3
He makes thy borders peaceful, and fills thee with the flour of wheat.
4
He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
5
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
6
Casting forth his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
7
He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow with his wind, and the waters shall flow.
8
He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
9
He has not done so to any other nation; and he has not shewn them his judgments.
