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 ²⁶⁶flour 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 ²⁶⁷any other nation; and he has not shown them his judgments.
