It Is Good to Sing Praises

¹Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!+ ²The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.+ ³He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.+ ⁴He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.+ ⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.+ ⁶The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.+ ⁷Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,+ ⁸who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.+ ⁹He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.+ ¹⁰He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.+ ¹¹The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.+ ¹²Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!+ ¹³For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.+ ¹⁴He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.+ ¹⁵He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.+ ¹⁶He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;+ ¹⁷He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?+ ¹⁸He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.+ ¹⁹He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.+ ²⁰He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!+
