This weekend, we
hear Psalm 147, one of the Hallelujah psalms that make up the last five chapters
of the psalter. At Mass, we will
be singing verses 1 to 6.
Catholic composer David Haas has set verses 12 to 15 to music as well;
you can hear his arrangement below.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, give glory!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, give glory!
Jerusalem, sing
praise!
Praise God with
music, o Zion!
The Lord opens all
doors,
Protecting your
children with blessing.
Refrain
The Lord brings
peace to the land;
The best of wheat
God gives.
God sings to the
earth;
With peace we hear
God’s word.
Refrain
The word is given
to Jacob:
To Israel God gives
the law.
We alone are given
God’s word.
His wisdom is
promised to us.
Refrain
To hear more music
from David Haas, you can mp3s at GIA Publications.
