Praise thy God, O Sion. Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum et 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 eloquiam suum terrae, velociter currit sermo eius. Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth, his word runneth swiftly. Qui datnivem sicut lanam, nebulam sicut cinerem spargit. Who giveth snow like wool, scattereth mists like ashes. Mittit cristal suam sicut buccellas, ante faciem frigoris eius 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 eius, et fluent aquae. He shall send out his word, and shall melt them; his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run. Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, iustitias et iudicia sua Israel. Who declareth his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel. Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et iudicia sua non manifestavit eis. He hath not done in like manner to every nation, and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them.
