[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
