1 Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggæus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Sion.
2 For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy children within thee.
3 He makes thy borders peaceful, and fills thee with the flour of wheat.
4 He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
5 He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
6 Casting forth his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
7 He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow with his wind, and the waters shall flow.
8 He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
9 He has not done so to any other nation; and he has not shewn them his judgments.
