MLV(i)
1 Praise Jehovah, because it is good to sing praises to our God. Because it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
2 Jehovah builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by names.
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite. 6 Jehovah upholds the meek. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God, 8 who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains. 9 He gives to the beast his food and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
12 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion. 13 Because he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you. 14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends out his commandment upon earth. His word runs very swiftly. 16 He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes. 17 He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold? 18 He sends out his word and melts them. He causes his wind to blow and the waters flow.
19 He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel. 20 He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them.
Praise Jehovah.
148 1 Praise Jehovah.
Praise you* Jehovah from the heavens. Praise him in the heights. 2 Praise him, all his messengers. Praise him, all his host. 3 Praise him, sun and moon. Praise him, all you* stars of light. 4 Praise him, you* heavens of heavens and you* waters that are above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah. Because he commanded and they were created. 6 He has also established them everlasting and forever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, you* sea creatures and all depths, 8 fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind, fulfilling his word, 9 mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars, 10 beasts and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds, 11 kings of the earth and all peoples, rulers and all judges of the earth, 12 both young men and virgins, old men and sons.
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, because his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 And he has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his holy ones, even of the sons of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Jehovah.
149 1 Praise Jehovah.
Sing to Jehovah a new song and his praise in the assembly of the holy ones. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.
4 Because Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5 Let the holy ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
6 The high praises of God are in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand 7 to execute vengeance upon the nations and punishments upon the peoples, 8 to bind their kings with chains and their ranking men with fetters of iron, 9 to execute upon them the written judgment. All his holy ones have this honor.
Praise Jehovah.
150 1 Praise Jehovah.
Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him in the expanse of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with horn and trumpet-blast. Praise him with psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with timbrel and dance. Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise him with loud cymbals. Praise him with alarming like cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise Jehovah.
Praise Jehovah.
