| 1 | 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 outcasts 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 name. | |
| 5 | Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. | |
| 6 | The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground. | |
| 7 | Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God, | |
| 8 | Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. | |
| 9 | He gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens that cry. | |
| 10 | He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no 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 wheat. | |
| 15 | He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. | |
| 16 | He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes; | |
| 17 | He casts out His hail like morsels; 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 dealt thus with any nation; And as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise the LORD! | |
