For ait is good to sing praises to our God;
bFor it is pleasant, and cpraise is beautiful. 
2 The Lord abuilds up Jerusalem;
bHe gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 
3 aHe heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their1 wounds.

He calls them all by name. 
5 aGreat is our Lord, and bmighty in power;
cHis understanding is infinite. 
6 aThe Lord lifts up the humble;
He casts the wicked down to the ground. 
7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises on the harp to our God,

Who prepares rain for the earth,
Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. 
9 aHe gives to the beast its food,
And bto the young ravens that cry. 
10 aHe does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 
11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your children within you.
14 aHe makes peace in your borders,
And bfills you with the finest wheat. 
15 aHe sends out His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly. 
16 aHe gives snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes; 
17 He casts out His hail like1 morsels;
Who can stand before His cold? 
18 aHe sends out His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. 
19 aHe declares His word to Jacob,
bHis statutes and His judgments to Israel. 
20 aHe has not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His judgments, they have not known them.
1Praise the Lord!
