{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah;
{Or, For he is good: sing praises unto our God; For he is gracious}For it is good to sing praises unto our God;
For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem;
He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
He healeth the broken in heart,
And bindeth up their {Hebrew: sorrows.}wounds.
He counteth the number of the stars;
He calleth them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.
Jehovah upholdeth the meek:
He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving;
Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,
Who covereth the heavens with clouds,
Who prepareth rain for the earth,
Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
He giveth to the beast his food,
And to the young ravens which cry.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:
He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him,
In those that hope in his lovingkindness.
Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem;
Praise thy God, O Zion.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;
He hath blessed thy children within thee.
He maketh {Hebrew: thy border peace.}peace in thy borders;
He filleth thee with the {Hebrew: fat of wheat.}finest of the wheat.
He sendeth out his commandment upon earth;
His word runneth very swiftly.
He giveth snow like wool;
He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
He casteth forth his ice like morsels:
Who can stand before his cold?
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:
He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
He showeth his word unto Jacob,
His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.
He hath not dealt so with any nation;
And as for his ordinances, they have not known them.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.

A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day.It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah,And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,And thy faithfulness every night,
With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery;With a solemn sound upon the harp.
Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah;Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,And declare his works with singing.
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
And Miriam answered them,Sing ye to Jehovah, for he {Or, is highly exalted}hath triumphed gloriously;The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

and madest them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth.
