Praise the Lord

Pray for god's care for jerusalem. Sing to the lord with thanksgiving. O zion, praise your god. For he strengthens the bars of your gates. He blesses your sons within you. He fills you with the finest of wheat. His word runs swiftly. He gives snow like wool. He scatters hoarfrost like ashes and casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold? The lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,. Those whose hope is in his steadfast love.
