1Praise ye the LORD; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is fitting {comely}. 2The LORD doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 4He appointeth {telleth} the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. 5Great is our LORD, and of great power; His understanding is infinite. 6The LORD lifteth up the meek; He casteth the wicked down to the ground. 7Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God, 8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 11The LORD taketh pleasure in them who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy.

12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 13For He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. 14He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 15He sendeth forth His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly. 16He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 17He casteth forth His ice like morsels; who can stand before His cold? 18He sendeth out His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19He showeth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances {judgments} unto Israel. 20He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His ordinances {judgments}, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
