Holman Christian Standard BibleKing James Bible
1Hallelujah! How good it is to sing to our God, for praise is pleasant and lovely. 1Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers Israel's exiled people. 2The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. 4He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5Our Lord is great, vast in power; His understanding is infinite. 5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6The LORD helps the afflicted but brings the wicked to the ground. 6The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; play the lyre to our God, 7Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8who covers the sky with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, and causes grass to grow on the hills. 8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens, what they cry for. 9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; He does not value the power of a man. 10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11The LORD values those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His faithful love. 11The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12Exalt the LORD, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion! 12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your children within you. 13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14He endows your territory with prosperity; He satisfies you with the finest wheat. 14He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15He sends His command throughout the earth; His word runs swiftly. 15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16He spreads snow like wool; He scatters frost like ashes; 16He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17He throws His hailstones like crumbs. Who can withstand His cold? 17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18He sends His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow. 18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel. 19He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20He has not done this for any nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah! 20He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
