Alleluja. Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum ; lauda Deum tuum, Sion.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum ; benedixit filiis tuis in te.
Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe frumenti satiat te.
Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ : velociter currit sermo ejus.
Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
Qui dat nivem sicut lanam ; nebulam sicut cinerem spargit.
Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas : ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit ?
He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea ; flabit spiritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.
He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, justitias et judicia sua Israël.
Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et judicia sua non manifestavit eis. Alleluja.
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
