1 Praise1984 ye the LORD:3050 for3588 it is good2896 to sing praises2167 unto our God;430 for3588 it is pleasant;5273 and praise8416 is comely.5000

2 The LORD3068 doth build up1129 Jerusalem:3389 he gathereth together3664 the outcasts1760 of Israel.3478

3 He healeth7495 the broken7665 in heart,3820 and bindeth up2280 their wounds.6094

4 He telleth4487 the number4557 of the stars;3556 he calleth7121 them all3605 by their names.8034

5 Great1419 is our Lord,113 and of great7227 power:3581 his understanding8394 is infinite.369 4557

6 The LORD3068 lifteth up5749 the meek:6035 he casteth the wicked down8213 7563 to5704 the ground.776

7 Sing6030 unto the LORD3068 with thanksgiving;8426 sing praise2167 upon the harp3658 unto our God: 430

8 Who covereth3680 the heaven8064 with clouds,5645 who prepareth3559 rain4306 for the earth,776 who maketh grass2682 to grow6779 upon the mountains.2022

9 He giveth5414 to the beast929 his food,3899 and to the young1121 ravens6158 which834 cry.7121

10 He delighteth2654 not3808 in the strength1369 of the horse:5483 he taketh not pleasure3808 7521 in the legs7785 of a man.376

11 The LORD3068 taketh pleasure in7521 853 them that fear3373 him, in853 those that hope3176 in his mercy.2617

12 Praise7623 853 the LORD,3068 O Jerusalem;3389 praise1984 thy God,430 O Zion.6726

13 For3588 he hath strengthened2388 the bars1280 of thy gates;8179 he hath blessed1288 thy children1121 within7130 thee.

14 He maketh7760 peace7965 in thy borders,1366 and filleth7646 thee with the finest2459 of the wheat.2406

15 He sendeth forth7971 his commandment565 upon earth:776 his word1697 runneth7323 very5704 swiftly.4120

16 He giveth5414 snow7950 like wool:6785 he scattereth6340 the hoarfrost3713 like ashes.665

17 He casteth forth7993 his ice7140 like morsels:6595 who4310 can stand5975 before6440 his cold?7135

18 He sendeth out7971 his word,1697 and melteth4529 them: he causeth his wind7307 to blow,5380 and the waters4325 flow.5140

19 He showeth5046 his word1697 unto Jacob,3290 his statutes2706 and his judgments4941 unto Israel.3478

20 He hath not3808 dealt6213 so3651 with any3605 nation:1471 and as for his judgments,4941 they have not1077 known3045 them. Praise1984 ye the LORD.3050
