Praise ye Jah! for it is good. Sing psalms of our God; for it is pleasant: praise is comely. |
2
|
Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth the outcasts of Israel. |
3
|
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. |
4
|
He counteth the number of the stars; he giveth names to them all. |
5
|
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. |
6
|
Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth. |
7
|
Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto our God: |
8
|
Who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains; |
9
|
Who giveth to the cattle their food, to the young ravens which cry. |
10
|
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man; |
11
|
Jehovah taketh pleasure in those that fear him, in those that hope in his loving-kindness. |
12
|
Laud Jehovah, 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; he satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat. |
15
|
He sendeth forth his oracles to the earth: his word runneth very swiftly. |
16
|
He giveth snow like wool, scattereth the hoar frost like ashes; |
17
|
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? |
18
|
He sendeth his word, and melteth them; he causeth his wind to blow—the waters flow. |
19
|
He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. |
20
|
He hath not dealt thus with any nation; and as for [his] judgments, they have not known them. Hallelujah! |
