¹Praise Yah; for it is good to sing praises to our god; for it is pleasant, and praise is pleasing.
²Yahvah builds up Jerusalem; he gathers together the scattered of Israel.
³He heals the broken of heart, and binds up their wounds.
⁴He counts the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
⁵Great is our master, and great is his power; his understanding is infinite.
⁶Yahvah lifts up the meek; he humbles the wicked down to the ground.

⁷Sing to Yahvah with thanksgiving; sing praise on the harp to our god,
⁸who covers the skies with clouds, who gives rain on the land, who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
⁹He gives to the cattle their food, and to the young ravens which cry.
¹⁰He does not delight in the strength of the horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a mighty man.
¹¹Yahvah takes pleasure in those who revere him, in those who hope in his mercy.

¹²Praise Yahvah, Jerusalem; praise your god, Zion.
¹³For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your sons inside you.
¹⁴He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
¹⁵He sends forth his commandment on land; his word runs very swiftly.
¹⁶He gives snow like wool; he scatters the white-frost like ashes.
¹⁷He casts forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold?
¹⁸He sends out his word and melts them; he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
¹⁹He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and his judgments to Israel.
²⁰He has not dealt so with all nations; and his judgments he has not made known to them. Praise Yah.
