Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem ! Praise your God, O Zion !
He keeps your gates strong; he blesses your people.
He keeps your borders safe and satisfies you with the finest wheat.
He gives a command to the earth, and what he says is quickly done.
He spreads snow like a blanket and scatters frost like dust.
He sends hail like gravel; no one can endure the cold he sends !
Then he gives a command, and the ice melts; he sends the wind, and the water flows.
He gives his message to his people, his instructions and laws to Israel.
He has not done this for other nations; they do not know his laws.
Praise the Lord !
