Dual Panel1Praise the LORD! How good it is to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how right!
2The LORD is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel.
3He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds.
4He counts the stars and calls them all by name.
5How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!
6The LORD supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust.
7Sing out your thanks to the LORD; sing praises to our God, accompanied by harps.
8He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the green grass grow in mountain pastures.
9He feeds the wild animals, and the young ravens cry to him for food.
10The strength of a horse does not impress him; how puny in his sight is the strength of a man.
11Rather, the LORD’s delight is in those who honor him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13For he has fortified the bars of your gates and blessed your children within you.
14He sends peace across your nation and satisfies you with plenty of the finest wheat.
15He sends his orders to the world––how swiftly his word flies!
16He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
17He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold?
18Then, at his command, it all melts. He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.
19He has revealed his words to Jacob, his principles and laws to Israel.
20He has not done this with any other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the LORD!
