Lauda Jerusalem [Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem] (Psalm 147:12-20) – Antonio Vivaldi Posted on August 25, 2013 Posted in Vivaldi, Antonio (1678-1741) Antonio Vivaldi by François Morellon la Cave; 1725 (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Psalm 147:12-20 [Latin] 12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. 14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. 16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord. — Lauda Jerusalem RV609 (1720s?), by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) A.
