Psalm
(Psalm 147:12-13, 15-16, 19-20)
r∙ Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
Glorify the Lord,
O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion.
For he has strengthened the
bars of your gates;
he has blessed your
children within you. r∙
He sends forth his command
to the earth;
swiftly runs his word!
He spreads snow like wool;
frost he strews like ashes. r∙
He has proclaimed his word
to Jacob,
his statutes and his
ordinances to Israel.
He has not done thus
for any other nation;
his ordinances he has not
made known to them. r∙
