✧Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, [and] praise is comely. ✧2Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. ✧3He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds. ✧4He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by [their] names. ✧5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. ✧6Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground. ✧7Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God, ✧8Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. ✧9He giveth to the beast his food, [And] to the young ravens which cry. ✧10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. ✧11Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness. ✧12Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion. ✧13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. ✧14He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. ✧15He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly. ✧16He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. ✧17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold? ✧18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. ✧19He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel. ✧20He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
