Z.147 Praise Your God, Jerusalem

Chorus:
Praise the Lord, praise your God, Jerusalem!

He has strengthened the bars of your gates,
he has blessed the children within you.

He has granted you peace on your borders,
with the finest of wheat he has fed you.

He sends forth his command to the earth and his
sword swiftly runs everywhere.

He declares his word to Jacob,
his decrees and his rulings to Israel.

So has God done for no other nation;
nowhere else has he taught his decrees.

To the Father and Son give glory,
To the Spirit for ever and ever.
