It is good to sing praise
1
Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, || For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
2
YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, || He gathers the driven away of Israel.
3
Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, || And is binding up their griefs.
4
Appointing the number of the stars, || He gives names to all of them.
5
Our Lord [is] great, and abundant in power, || There is no narration of His understanding.
6
YHWH is causing the meek to stand, || Making the wicked low to the earth.
7
Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, || Sing to our God with a harp.
8
Who is covering the heavens with clouds, || Who is preparing rain for the earth, || Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
9
Giving to the beast its food, || To the young of the ravens that call.
10
He does not delight in the might of the horse, || He is not pleased in the legs of a man.
11
YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, || With those waiting for His kindness.
12
Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, || Praise your God, O Zion.
13
For He strengthened the bars of your gates, || He has blessed your sons in your midst.
14
Who is making your border peace, || He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
15
Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, || His word runs very speedily.
16
Who is giving snow like wool, || He scatters hoarfrost as ashes.
17
Casting forth His ice like morsels, || Who stands before His cold?
18
He sends forth His word and melts them, || He causes His wind to blow—the waters flow.
19
Declaring His words to Jacob, || His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20
He has not done so to any nation, || As for judgments, they have not known them. Praise YAH!
