Praise the Lord: for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant; praise is comely.
The Lord builds Yerushalayim: he gathers together the outcasts of Yisra᾽el.
He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
The Lord upholds the humble: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the lyre to our God:
who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
He gives to the beast its food, and to the young ravens which cry.
He delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
Praise the Lord, O Yerushalayim; praise Thy God, O Żiyyon.
For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy children within thee.
He makes peace in Thy borders, and fills thee with the finest of the wheat.
He sends forth his commandment upon the earth: his word runs very swiftly.
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoar frost like ashes.
He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
He sends out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow: they run as water.
He declares his Word to Ya῾aqov, his statutes and his judgments to Yisra᾽el.
He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for his ordinances they have not known them. Haleluya!
