- 1
- 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!
