| 1 | Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! | |
| 2 | The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. | |
| 3 | He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. | |
| 4 | He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. | |
| 5 | Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. | |
| 6 | The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground. | |
| 7 | Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp. | |
| 8 | He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. | |
| 9 | He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call. | |
| 10 | His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; | |
| 11 | the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. | |
| 12 | Extol the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion, | |
| 13 | for he strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you. | |
| 14 | He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat. | |
| 15 | He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. | |
| 16 | He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. | |
| 17 | He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast? | |
| 18 | He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow. | |
| 19 | He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel. | |
| 20 | He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the LORD. | |
