Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יְהוָה נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּֽס׃ | 2 |
The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב־כֹּחַ לִתְבוּנָתוֹ אֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃ | 5 |
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
מְעוֹדֵד עֲנָוִים יְהוָה מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 6 |
The LORD upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
עֱנוּ לַיהוָה בְּתוֹדָה זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְכִנּֽוֹר׃ | 7 |
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
הַֽמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם ׀ בְּעָבִים הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר הַמַּצְמִיחַ הָרִים חָצִֽיר׃ | 8 |
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃ | 9 |
He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ לֹֽא־בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃ | 10 |
He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
רוֹצֶה יְהוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָיו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

כִּֽי־חִזַּק בְּרִיחֵי שְׁעָרָיִךְ בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃ | 13 |
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם חֵלֶב חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃ | 14 |
He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ עַד־מְהֵרָה יָרוּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ׃ | 15 |
He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
הַנֹּתֵן שֶׁלֶג כַּצָּמֶר כְּפוֹר כָּאֵפֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃ | 16 |
He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
מַשְׁלִיךְ קַֽרְחוֹ כְפִתִּים לִפְנֵי קָרָתוֹ מִי יַעֲמֹֽד׃ | 17 |
He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃ | 18 |
He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
מַגִּיד דברו דְּבָרָיו לְיַעֲקֹב חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 19 |
He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן ׀ לְכָל־גּוֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל־יְדָעוּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | 20 |
He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise the LORD!
