## Text

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