CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Praise Yah. Indeed it is good to make melody to our Elohim; Indeed it is pleasant to make comely praise. ² Yahweh is building up Jerusalem; He is collecting together the expelled of Israel, ³ The One healing the broken heart And binding up their grievous wounds; ⁴ The One counting the number of stars, He is calling them all by their names." ⁵ Great is our Lord and vast in vigor; As to His understanding, there is no enumeration of it." ⁶ Yahweh is bolstering up the humbled ones, Abasing the wicked to the earth." ⁷ Respond to Yahweh with acclamation; Make melody to our Elohim with the harp, ⁸ The One covering the heavens with thick clouds, The One preparing rain for the earth, The One sprouting grass on the mountains, ⁹ Giving its nourishment to the beasts, To the raven's young when they should call." ¹⁰ Not in the horse's mastery is He delighting; Not in the legs of a man is He placing approval; ¹¹ Yahweh is placing approval in those fearing Him, In those waiting for His benignity." ¹² Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem; Praise your Elohim, O Zion, ¹³ For He has fortified the bars of your gates And has blessed your sons within you. ¹⁴ The One giving peace in your territory, He is satisfying you with the fat of wheat;" ¹⁵ The One sending His command to the earth, His word is running quickly;" ¹⁶ The One giving snow like wool, He is dispersing hoarfrost like ashes, ¹⁷ Flinging down His ice like morsels of bread; Who can stand before His cold blast? ¹⁸ He is sending His word and melts them; He is reversing His wind, and the waters flow." ¹⁹ He is telling His words to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel." ²⁰ He has not done so for any other nation, And His ordinances, they do not know them at all. Praise Yah." ¹⁴⁸ ¹ Praise Yah. Praise Yahweh from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights. ² Praise Him, all His messengers; Praise Him, all His hosts." ³ Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all stars of light." ⁴ Praise Him, heavens of the heavens, And the waters that are above the heavens." ⁵ May they praise the Name of Yahweh, For He Himself determined, and they were created." ⁶ He makes them stand for the future, for the eon; He has set down a statute, and it shall not pass away." ⁷ Praise Yahweh from the earth, Sea monsters and every abyss, ⁸ Fire and hail, snow and fume, Tempestuous wind, performing His word, ⁹ Mountains and all hills, Fruit trees and all cedars, ¹⁰ Wild animal and every domestic beast, Reptile and winged bird, ¹¹ Kings of the earth and all national groups, Chiefs and all judges of the earth, ¹² Choice young men and virgins too, Old men along with youths." ¹³ May they praise the Name of Yahweh, For an Impregnable Retreat is His Name, His alone; His splendor is over the earth and heavens;" ¹⁴ He has raised up a horn for His people, Praise for all His benign ones, For the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise Yah." ¹⁴⁹ ¹ Praise Yah. Sing to Yahweh a new song, His praise in the assembly of the benign ones." ² May Israel rejoice in its Maker; May the sons of Zion exult in their King. ³ May they praise His Name in chorus; With tambourine and harp may they make melody to Him. ⁴ For Yahweh is placing approval on His people; He is making the humble beautiful with salvation. ⁵ May the benign ones be joyous in this glory; May they be jubilant upon their beds. ⁶ May exaltations of El be in their throat And a serrated sword in their hand, ⁷ To execute vengeance on the nations, Corrections on the national groups;" ⁸ To bind their kings with manacles And their glorious nobles with fetters of iron, ⁹ To execute the written judgment against them, This is the honor of all His benign ones. Praise Yah." ¹⁵⁰ ¹ Praise Yah. Praise El in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His powerful atmosphere. ² Praise Him in accord with His masterful deeds; Praise Him according to His vast greatness. ³ Praise Him with the blowing of a trumpet; Praise Him with zither and harp. ⁴ Praise Him with tambourine and in chorus; Praise Him with lute and shepherd's pipe. ⁵ Praise Him with resounding cymbals; Praise Him with shouting cymbals. ⁶ May all that has breath praise Yah. Praise Yah.
