{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.

O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah:O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:

Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion,Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Jehovah will reign for ever,Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him:Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Cry aloud and shout, thou {Hebrew: inhabitress.}inhabitant of Zion; for great in the midst of thee is the Holy One of Israel.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain {Or in (or, for) righteousness}in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, {Or, at the first}in the first month.
