Vivaldi - Lauda Jerusalem - Alessandrini

For double choir, couble orchestra and two soprano soloists.

*----------*---------*
Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum:
Lauda Deum tuum, Sion.
Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum,
benedixit filiis tuis in te.
Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe
frumenti satiat te.
Qui emittit eloquium suum terrae,
velociter currit sermo eius.
Qui dat nivem sicut lanam,
nebulam sicut cinerem spargit.
Mittit crystallum suam sicut bucellas:
ante faciem frigoris eius quis sustinebit?
Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea;
flabit spiritus eius, et fluent aquae.
Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob,
iustitias et iudicia sua Israel.
Non fecit taliter omni nationi:
et iudicia sua non manifestavit eis.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem.
Praise thy God, O Sion.
For he hath made fast the bars of thy gates,
and hath blessed thy children within thee. He makes peace in your borders: and fills thee
with the flour of wheat.
He sends forth his commandment upon earth, and his word runs swiftly.
He gives snow like wool,
he scatters frost like ashes.
He casts forth his ice like morsels:
who is able to abide his frost?
He sends out his word, and melts them:
his breath blows, and the waters flow.
He shows his word unto Jacob,
his statutes and laws to Israel.
He has not dealt so with any nation:
neither have the heathen knowledge of his laws.
Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
