Berean Standard Bible
1Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
1Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!
2Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
2The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
3Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
3He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
4He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.
5Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
6He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
6The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
7He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
8Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
8who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
9He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
9He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
