Psalms

Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. ¹

¹Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Sion.

²For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.

³He makes your borders peaceful, and fills you with the ² flour of wheat.

⁴He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.

⁵He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.

⁶Casting forth his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?

⁷He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow with his wind, and the waters shall flow.

⁸He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.

⁹He has not done so to ³ any other nation; and he has not shown them his judgments.
