1
|
Praise ye Yah; For it is good to sing praises unto our YAHUVEH; For it is
pleasant, and praise is comely. |
2
|
YAHUVEH doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of
Israel. |
3
|
He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds. |
4
|
He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their
names. |
5
|
Great is our Master, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. |
6
|
YAHUVEH upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground. |
7
|
Sing unto YAHUVEH with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our
YAHUVEH, |
8
|
Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth,
Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. |
9
|
He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which
cry. |
10
|
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in
the legs of a man. |
11
|
YAHUVEH taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his
lovingkindness. |
12
|
Praise YAHUVEH, O Jerusalem; Praise thy YAHUVEH, O Zion. |
13
|
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy
children within thee. |
14
|
He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the
wheat. |
15
|
He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very
swiftly. |
16
|
He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. |
17
|
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold? |
18
|
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow,
and the waters flow. |
19
|
He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto
Israel. |
20
|
He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they
have not known them. Praise ye Yah. |
