¹Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Sion.

¹Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

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

²Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

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

³He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

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

⁴He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

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

⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

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

⁶Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings 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 to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,

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

⁸who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.

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

⁹He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
