Psalms

¹Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion. ↗

²For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you. ↗

³He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain. ↗

⁴He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly. ↗

⁵He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes. ↗

⁶He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold? ↗

⁷He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow. ↗

⁸He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel. ↗

⁹He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia. ↗
