raise the  Lord,  O Jerusalem:  praise thy God,  O  Sion.

Because He  hath strengthened the  bolts of thy  gates:  He  hath blessed thy  children  within thee.

Who hath  placed  peace in thy  borders:  and  filleth  thee  with  the  fat  of corn.

Who sendeth  forth  His speech to  the  earth:  His word runneth  swiftly.

Who giveth  snow  like wool: scattereth  mist  like ashes.

He sendeth  his  ice  like morsels: who  shall  stand before His  cold?

He shall  send  out  His word, and  shall  melt them: His  wind  shall blow, and  the  waters  shall run.

Who declareth  His word to  Jacob:  His  justices, and  His  judgments to Israel.

He hath  not  done  in like  manner  to  every  nation:  and  His  judgments He hath  not  made  manifest to  them.
