1Hallelujah; For it is good to praise our God; For it is pleasant to sing his praise. 2Yahweh builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3He heals the broken in heart, And binds up their wounds. 4He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by [their] names. 5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. 6Yahweh upholds the meek: He brings the wicked down to the ground. 7Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God, 8Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. 9He gives to the beast his food, [And] to the young ravens which cry. 10He does not delight in the strength of the horse: He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 11Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, In those who hope in his loving-kindness. 12Praise Yahweh, O Jerusalem; Praise your God, O Zion. 13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons inside you. 14He makes peace in your borders; He fills you with the finest of the wheat. 15He sends out his commandment on earth; His word runs very swiftly. 16He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes. 17He casts forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold? 18He sends out his word, and melts them: He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19He shows his word to Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances to Israel. 20He has not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Hallelujah.
