Psalm
R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you. R.
The Lord sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes. R.
The Lord declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and ordinances to Israel. He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his ordinances. R.
