Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. * In the original text, the following verses are numbered 12 to 20.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Sion.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
He makes your borders peaceful, and fills you with the Lit. fat of wheat. flour of wheat.
He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
Casting forth his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow with his wind, and the waters shall flow.
He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
He has not done so to Gr. every. any other nation; and he has not shown them his judgments.

*^ In the original text, the following verses are numbered 12 to 20.

147:3 Lit. fat of wheat.

147:9 Gr. every.
