1 Praise ye Jah! For `it is' good to praise our God, For pleasant -- comely `is' praise.

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

2 Building Jerusalem `is' Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

2 בֹּונֵ֣ה יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה נִדְחֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל יְכַנֵּֽס׃

3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

3 הָ֭רֹפֵא לִשְׁב֣וּרֵי לֵ֑ב וּ֝מְחַבֵּ֗שׁ לְעַצְּבֹותָֽם׃

4 Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

4 מֹונֶ֣ה מִ֭סְפָּר לַכֹּוכָבִ֑ים לְ֝כֻלָּ֗ם שֵׁמֹ֥ות יִקְרָֽא׃

5 Great `is' our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

5 גָּדֹ֣ול אֲדֹונֵ֣ינוּ וְרַב־כֹּ֑חַ לִ֝תְבוּנָתֹ֗ו אֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃

6 Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

6 מְעֹודֵ֣ד עֲנָוִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה מַשְׁפִּ֖יל רְשָׁעִ֣ים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

7 Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.

7 עֱנ֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּתֹודָ֑ה זַמְּר֖וּ לֵאלֹהֵ֣ינוּ בְכִנֹּֽור׃

8 Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up `on' mountains,

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

9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

9 נֹותֵ֣ן לִבְהֵמָ֣ה לַחְמָ֑הּ לִבְנֵ֥י עֹ֝רֵ֗ב אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃

10 Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

10 לֹ֤א בִגְבוּרַ֣ת הַסּ֣וּס יֶחְפָּ֑ץ לֹֽא־בְשֹׁוקֵ֖י הָאִ֣ישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃

11 Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

11 רֹוצֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָ֑יו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדֹּֽו׃

12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.

12 שַׁבְּחִ֣י יְ֭רוּשָׁלִַם אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה הַֽלְלִ֖י אֱלֹהַ֣יִךְ צִיֹּֽון׃

13 For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

13 כִּֽי־חִ֭זַּק בְּרִיחֵ֣י שְׁעָרָ֑יִךְ בֵּרַ֖ךְ בָּנַ֣יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃

14 Who is making thy border peace, `With' the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.

14 הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵ֥ךְ שָׁלֹ֑ום חֵ֥לֶב חִ֝טִּ֗ים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃

15 Who is sending forth His saying `on' earth, Very speedily doth His word run.

15 הַשֹּׁלֵ֣חַ אִמְרָתֹ֣ו אָ֑רֶץ עַד־מְ֝הֵרָ֗ה יָר֥וּץ דְּבָרֹֽו׃

16 Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.

16 הַנֹּתֵ֣ן שֶׁ֣לֶג כַּצָּ֑מֶר כְּ֝פֹ֗ור כָּאֵ֥פֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃

17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?

17 מַשְׁלִ֣יךְ קַֽרְחֹ֣ו כְפִתִּ֑ים לִפְנֵ֥י קָ֝רָתֹ֗ו מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃

18 He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow -- the waters flow.

18 יִשְׁלַ֣ח דְּבָרֹ֣ו וְיַמְסֵ֑ם יַשֵּׁ֥ב ר֝וּחֹ֗ו יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃

19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

19 מַגִּ֣יד דְּבָרֹו דְּבָרָ֣יו לְיַעֲקֹ֑ב חֻקָּ֥יו וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטָ֗יו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

20 He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!

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