Pastor: Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises on the harp to our God, Cong: Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. Pastor: He gives to the beast its food, and to the young ravens that cry. Cong: The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy. Pastor: Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise you God, O Zion! Cong: For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you. Pastor: He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest wheat. Cong: He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. Pastor: He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes: Cong: He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold? Pastor: He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. Cong: He declares His word to Jacob; His statutes and His judgments to Israel. Praise the Lord!
