1Hallelujah! How good [it is] to sing praises to our God, for praise is pleasant and lovely. 1הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ כִּי־ ט֭וֹב זַמְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ כִּֽי־ נָ֝עִים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃
2The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel. 2בּוֹנֵ֣ה יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה נִדְחֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל יְכַנֵּֽס׃
3He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 3הָ֭רֹפֵא לִשְׁב֣וּרֵי לֵ֑ב וּ֝מְחַבֵּ֗שׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם׃
4He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name. 4מוֹנֶ֣ה מִ֭סְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִ֑ים לְ֝כֻלָּ֗ם שֵׁמ֥וֹת יִקְרָֽא׃
5Great [is] our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit. 5גָּד֣וֹל אֲדוֹנֵ֣ינוּ וְרַב־ כֹּ֑חַ לִ֝תְבוּנָת֗וֹ אֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃
6The LORD sustains the afflicted, [but] casts the wicked to the ground. 6מְעוֹדֵ֣ד עֲנָוִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה מַשְׁפִּ֖יל רְשָׁעִ֣ים עֲדֵי־ אָֽרֶץ׃
7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God, 7עֱנ֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּתוֹדָ֑ה זַמְּר֖וּ לֵאלֹהֵ֣ינוּ בְכִנּֽוֹר׃
8who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills. 8הַֽמְכַסֶּ֬ה שָׁמַ֨יִם ׀ בְּעָבִ֗ים הַמֵּכִ֣ין לָאָ֣רֶץ מָטָ֑ר הַמַּצְמִ֖יחַ הָרִ֣ים חָצִֽיר׃
9He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call. 9נוֹתֵ֣ן לִבְהֵמָ֣ה לַחְמָ֑הּ לִבְנֵ֥י עֹ֝רֵ֗ב אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃
10He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man. 10לֹ֤א בִגְבוּרַ֣ת הַסּ֣וּס יֶחְפָּ֑ץ לֹֽא־ בְשׁוֹקֵ֖י הָאִ֣ישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃
11The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion. 11רוֹצֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־ יְרֵאָ֑יו אֶת־ הַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃
12Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion! 12שַׁבְּחִ֣י יְ֭רוּשָׁלִַם אֶת־ יְהוָ֑ה הַֽלְלִ֖י אֱלֹהַ֣יִךְ צִיּֽוֹן׃
13For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you. 13כִּֽי־ חִ֭זַּק בְּרִיחֵ֣י שְׁעָרָ֑יִךְ בֵּרַ֖ךְ בָּנַ֣יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃
14He makes peace [at] your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat. 14הַשָּׂם־ גְּבוּלֵ֥ךְ שָׁל֑וֹם חֵ֥לֶב חִ֝טִּ֗ים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃
15He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly. 15הַשֹּׁלֵ֣חַ אִמְרָת֣וֹ אָ֑רֶץ עַד־ מְ֝הֵרָ֗ה יָר֥וּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ׃
16He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes; 16הַנֹּתֵ֣ן שֶׁ֣לֶג כַּצָּ֑מֶר כְּ֝פ֗וֹר כָּאֵ֥פֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃
17He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast? 17מַשְׁלִ֣יךְ קַֽרְח֣וֹ כְפִתִּ֑ים לִפְנֵ֥י קָ֝רָת֗וֹ מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃
18He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow. 18יִשְׁלַ֣ח דְּבָר֣וֹ וְיַמְסֵ֑ם יַשֵּׁ֥ב ר֝וּח֗וֹ יִזְּלוּ־ מָֽיִם׃
19He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel. 19מַגִּ֣יד [דברו] (דְּבָרָ֣יו) לְיַעֲקֹ֑ב חֻקָּ֥יו וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטָ֗יו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
20He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah! 20לֹ֘א עָ֤שָׂה כֵ֨ן ׀ לְכָל־ גּ֗וֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֥ים בַּל־ יְדָע֗וּם הַֽלְלוּ־ יָֽהּ׃
