PSALM 147
Response:
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Verse 1:
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Zion, praise your God!
He has strengthened the bars of your gates,
He has blessed the children within you.
Verse 2:
He established peace on your borders,
He feeds you with finest wheat,
He sends out his word to the earth
and swiftly runs his command.
Verse 3:
He makes his word known to Jacob,
to Israel his laws and decrees,
He has not dealt thus with other nations;
He has not taught them his decrees.
