1Praise 2the LORD
! For ait is good
to sing
praises
to our God
; For 3it is pleasant
and praise
is bbecoming
.
The LORD abuilds
up Jerusalem
; He bgathers
the outcasts
of Israel
.
He heals the abrokenhearted
And bbinds
up their 1wounds
.
He acounts the number
of the stars
; He 1 bgives
names
to all
of them.
aGreat is our Lord
and abundant
in strength
; His bunderstanding
is 1infinite
.
The LORD 1 asupports
the afflicted
; He brings
down
the wicked
to the ground
.
aSing to the LORD
with thanksgiving
; Sing
praises
to our God
on the lyre
,
Who acovers the heavens
with clouds
, Who bprovides
rain
for the earth
, Who cmakes grass
to 1grow
on the mountains
.
He agives to the beast
its food
, And to the byoung
ravens
which
cry
.
He does not delight in the strength
of the ahorse
; He bdoes not take
pleasure
in the legs
of a man
.
The LORD afavors
those who fear
Him, bThose who wait
for His lovingkindness
.
Praise the LORD
, O Jerusalem
! Praise
your God
, O Zion
!
For He has strengthened the abars
of your gates
; He has bblessed
your sons
within
you.
He amakes 1peace
in your borders
; He bsatisfies
you with cthe 2finest
of the wheat
.
He sends forth His acommand
to the earth
; His bword
runs
very
swiftly
.
He gives asnow
like wool
; He scatters
the bfrost
like ashes
.
He casts forth His aice
as fragments
; Who
can stand
before
His bcold
?
He asends forth His word
and melts
them; He bcauses His wind
to blow
and the waters
to flow
.
He adeclares His words
to Jacob
, His bstatutes
and His ordinances
to Israel
.
He ahas not dealt thus
with any
nation
; And as for His ordinances
, they have bnot known
them. 1Praise
2the LORD
!
