It Is Good to Sing Praises

1Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.+ 2Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.+ 3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.+ 4He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.+ 5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.+ 6Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.+ 7Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,+ 8who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.+ 9He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.+ 10He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.+ 11Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.+ 12Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!+ 13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.+ 14He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.+ 15He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.+ 16He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.+ 17He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?+ 18He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.+ 19He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.+ 20He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!+
