1Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Sion.
1Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
2The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3He makes your borders peaceful, and fills you with the flour of wheat.
3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
4He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6Casting [forth] his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
6The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.
7Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9He has not done so to any [other] nation; and he has not shown them his judgments.
9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
