for it is good to sing praises to our God;

[2] Yahweh builds up Jerusalem.
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

and binds up their wounds.
[4] He counts the number of the stars.
He calls them all by their names.

His understanding is infinite.
[6] Yahweh upholds the humble.
He brings the wicked down to the ground.
[7] Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving.
Sing praises on the harp to our God,
[8] who covers the sky with clouds,
who prepares rain for the earth,
who makes grass grow on the mountains.
[9] He provides food for the livestock,
and for the young ravens when they call.
[10] He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse.
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

in those who hope in his loving kindness.

Praise your God, Zion!

He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
[15] He sends out his commandment to the earth.
His word runs very swiftly.
[16] He gives snow like wool,
and scatters frost like ashes.
[17] He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can stand before his cold?
[18] He sends out his word, and melts them.
He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

They don’t know his ordinances.
