1 Praise Jehovah; for it is good to sing praises to our God; for praise is delightful and becoming.
2 Jehovah builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds.
4 He appoints the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and of great power; There is no limit to His understanding.
6 Jehovah lifts up the meek; He throws the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing to Jehovah 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 to grow on the mountains.
9 He gives the beasts their food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear Him, who hope in His mercy.
12 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.
13 For He has made the bars of your gates strong; He has blessed your sons within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
