| 1 |
Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
|
| 2 |
Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together 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 calleth them all by their names.
|
| 5 |
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
|
| 6 |
Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
|
| 7 |
Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises 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 |
He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry.
|
| 10 |
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
|
| 11 |
Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness.
|
| 12 |
Praise 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 filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
|
| 15 |
He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.
|
| 16 |
He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost 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 showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.
|
| 20 |
He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
