1 Praise the LORD,

2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem.

3 He heals the broken in heart,

4 He counts the number of the stars.

5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.

6 The LORD upholds the humble.

7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving.

8 who covers the sky with clouds,

9 He provides food for the livestock,

10 He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse.

11 The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him,

12 Praise the LORD, Jerusalem!

13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.

14 He makes peace in your borders.

15 He sends out his commandment to the earth.

16 He gives snow like wool,

17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles.

18 He sends out his word, and melts them.

19 He shows his word to Jacob,

20 He has not done this for just any nation.
