13Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem; *
praise your God, O Zion;

14For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *
he has blessed your children within you.

15He has established peace on your borders; *
he satisfies you with the finest wheat.

16He sends out his command to the earth, *
and his word runs very swiftly.

17He gives snow like wool; *
he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.

18He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *
who can stand against his cold?

19He sends forth his word and melts them; *
he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.

20He declares his word to Jacob, *
his statutes and his judgments to Israel.

21He has not done so to any other nation; *
to them he has not revealed his judgments.
Hallelujah!

148Laudate Dominum

1Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord from the heavens; *
praise him in the heights.

2Praise him, all you angels of his; *
praise him, all his host.

3Praise him, sun and moon; *
praise him, all you shining stars.

Psalm 148805
