📚Praise the LORD✭!For it is good to sing
praises to our God;
for it is pleasant✭ and praise is
beautiful✭.
2 📚The LORD builds✭ up Jerusalem.
He gathers✭ together the exiles
of Israel.
3 📚✭He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
4 📚✭He counts the number
of the stars;
he calls them all by their
names.
5 📚Great✭ is our Lord
and mighty in power.
His understanding✭ is
infinite.
6 📚The LORD lifts up the meek✭.
He hurls the wicked down to
the ground✭.
7 📚Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving✭.
Sing praise on the harp
to our God,
8 📚✭Who covers the heavens
with clouds,
who prepares rain for the earth,
who makes grass grow
on the mountains.
9 📚He gives to the beast its food,
and to the young ravens
which cry out.
10 📚✭He does not delight in the strength of
the horse;
he does not take pleasure
in the legs of a man.
11 📚The LORD takes pleasure in those
who fear him,
in those who hope in his mercy.
12 📚✭Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 📚For he has strengthened the
bars of your gates.
He has blessed your children
within you.
14 📚He makes peace in your
borders,
and fills you with the finest
of the wheat.
15 📚✭He sends out his command on
earth;
his word runs very swiftly.
16 📚✭He gives snow like wool;
he scatters the frost like ashes.
17 📚He hurls out his hail like fragments;
who can stand before his cold?
18 📚He sends out his word and
melts them.
He causes his wind to blow,
and the waters flow.
19 📚✭He declares his word to Jacob,
his statutes and his judgments
to Israel.
20 📚✭He has not done so with any
other nation;
and as for his judgments,
they have not known them.
Praise the LORD!
