[1] Praise Yah, For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is
pleasant and fitting to praise him. [2] Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He
gathers together the outcasts of Israel. [3] He heals the broken in heart,
And binds up their wounds. [4] He counts the number of the stars. He
calls them all by their names. [5] Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.
His understanding is infinite. [6] Yahweh upholds the humble. He
brings the wicked down to the ground. [7] Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving.
Sing praises on the harp to our God, [8] Who covers the sky with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass grow on the
mountains. [9] He provides food for the cattle, And for the young ravens
when they call. [10] He doesn`t delight in the strength of the horse. He
takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. [11] Yahweh takes pleasure in those
who fear him, In those who hope in his lovingkindness. [12] Praise
Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, 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. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
[15] He sends out his commandment on earth. His word runs very swiftly.
[16] He gives snow like wool, And scatters frost like ashes. [17] He
hurls down his hail like pebbles. 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 shows his word to Jacob; His statutes and his
ordinances to Israel. [20] He has not done this for any nation; They
don`t know his ordinances. Praise Yah! Psalm 148
