1 Give praise to the Lord; for it is good to make melody to our God; praise is pleasing and beautiful.

1 הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ׀ כִּי־טֹ֖וב זַמְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ כִּֽי־נָ֝עִים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃

2 The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.

2 בֹּונֵ֣ה יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה נִדְחֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל יְכַנֵּֽס׃

3 He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.

3 הָ֭רֹפֵא לִשְׁב֣וּרֵי לֵ֑ב וּ֝מְחַבֵּ֗שׁ לְעַצְּבֹותָֽם׃

4 He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.

4 מֹונֶ֣ה מִ֭סְפָּר לַכֹּוכָבִ֑ים לְ֝כֻלָּ֗ם שֵׁמֹ֥ות יִקְרָֽא׃

5 Great is our Lord, and great his power; there is no limit to his wisdom.

5 גָּדֹ֣ול אֲדֹונֵ֣ינוּ וְרַב־כֹּ֑חַ לִ֝תְבוּנָתֹ֗ו אֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃

6 The Lord gives help to the poor in spirit; but he sends sinners down in shame.

6 מְעֹודֵ֣ד עֲנָוִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה מַשְׁפִּ֖יל רְשָׁעִ֣ים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

7 Make songs of praise to the Lord; make melody to our God with instruments of music.

7 עֱנ֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּתֹודָ֑ה זַמְּר֖וּ לֵאלֹהֵ֣ינוּ בְכִנֹּֽור׃

8 By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.

8 הַֽמְכַסֶּ֬ה שָׁמַ֨יִם׀ בְּעָבִ֗ים הַמֵּכִ֣ין לָאָ֣רֶץ מָטָ֑ר הַמַּצְמִ֖יחַ הָרִ֣ים חָצִֽיר׃

9 He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.

9 נֹותֵ֣ן לִבְהֵמָ֣ה לַחְמָ֑הּ לִבְנֵ֥י עֹ֝רֵ֗ב אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃

10 He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

10 לֹ֤א בִגְבוּרַ֣ת הַסּ֣וּס יֶחְפָּ֑ץ לֹֽא־בְשֹׁוקֵ֖י הָאִ֣ישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃

11 The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.

11 רֹוצֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָ֑יו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדֹּֽו׃

12 Give praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; give praise to your God, O Zion.

12 שַׁבְּחִ֣י יְ֭רוּשָׁלִַם אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה הַֽלְלִ֖י אֱלֹהַ֣יִךְ צִיֹּֽון׃

13 He has made strong the iron bands of your doors; he has sent blessings on your children inside your walls.

13 כִּֽי־חִ֭זַּק בְּרִיחֵ֣י שְׁעָרָ֑יִךְ בֵּרַ֖ךְ בָּנַ֣יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃

14 He gives peace in all your land, making your stores full of fat grain.

14 הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵ֥ךְ שָׁלֹ֑ום חֵ֥לֶב חִ֝טִּ֗ים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃

15 He sends out his orders to the earth; his word goes out quickly.

15 הַשֹּׁלֵ֣חַ אִמְרָתֹ֣ו אָ֑רֶץ עַד־מְ֝הֵרָ֗ה יָר֥וּץ דְּבָרֹֽו׃

16 He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.

16 הַנֹּתֵ֣ן שֶׁ֣לֶג כַּצָּ֑מֶר כְּ֝פֹ֗ור כָּאֵ֥פֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃

17 He sends down ice like raindrops: water is made hard by his cold.

17 מַשְׁלִ֣יךְ קַֽרְחֹ֣ו כְפִתִּ֑ים לִפְנֵ֥י קָ֝רָתֹ֗ו מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃

18 At the outgoing of his word, the ice is turned to water; when he sends out his wind, there is a flowing of waters.

18 יִשְׁלַ֣ח דְּבָרֹ֣ו וְיַמְסֵ֑ם יַשֵּׁ֥ב ר֝וּחֹ֗ו יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃

19 He makes his word clear to Jacob, teaching Israel his laws and his decisions.

19 מַגִּ֣יד דְּבָרֹו דְּבָרָ֣יו לְיַעֲקֹ֑ב חֻקָּ֥יו וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטָ֗יו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

20 He has not done these things for any other nation: and as for his laws, they have no knowledge of them. Let the Lord be praised.

20 לֹ֘א עָ֤שָׂה כֵ֨ן׀ לְכָל־גֹּ֗וי וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֥ים בַּל־יְדָע֗וּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
