| 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! |
