Hallelujah ... ! How good (it is) to sing praises to our God , how pleasant and lovely to praise (Him) !
The LORD builds up Jerusalem ; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted ... and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars ; He calls them each by name.
Great (is) our Lord , and mighty in power ; His understanding has no limit.
The LORD sustains the humble , (but) casts the wicked to the ground.
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving ; make music on the harp to our God ,
who covers the sky with clouds , who prepares rain for the earth , who makes grass to grow on the hills.
He provides food for the animals , and for the young ravens - when they call.
He does not delight in the strength of the horse ; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
The LORD - is pleased with those who fear Him , - who hope in His loving devotion.
Exalt the LORD , O Jerusalem - ; praise your God , O Zion !
For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
He makes peace (at) your borders ; He fills you with the finest wheat.
He sends forth His command to the earth ; His word runs swiftly.
He spreads the snow like wool ; He scatters the frost like ashes ;
He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand ... His icy blast ?
He sends forth His word and melts them ; He unleashes His winds , and the waters flow.
He declares His word to Jacob , His statutes and judgments to Israel.
He has done this for no other ... nation ; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah ... !
