 Worship the, O  Jerusalem; * praise your God, O Zion;

For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; * he has blessed your children within you.

He has established peace on your borders; * he satisfies you with the finest wheat.

He sends out his command to the earth, * and his word runs very swiftly.

He gives snow like wool; * he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.

He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; * who can stand against his cold?

He sends forth his word and melts them; * he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.

He declares his word to Jacob, * his statutes and his judgments to Israel.

He has not done so to any other nation; * to them he has not revealed his judgments. Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Praise the from the heavens; * praise him in the heights.

Praise him, all you angels of his; * praise him, all his host.

Praise him, sun and moon; * praise him, all you shining stars.
