1 PRAISE God! 'tis good and pleasant,
And comely to adore;
Jehovah builds up Salem,
Her outcasts doth restore.
2 He heals the broken-hearted,
And makes the wounded live;
The starry hosts he numbers,
And names to all doth give.
3 Our Lord is great and mighty;
His wisdom none can know;
The Lord doth raise the lowly,
And sinners overthrow.
4 O thank and praise Jehovah!
Praise him on harp with mirth,
The heaven with clouds who covers,
And sends his rain on earth.
5 He clothes with grass the mountains,
And gives the beasts their food;
He hears the crying ravens,
And feeds their tender brood.
6 In horse's strength delights not,
Nor speed of man loves he;
The Lord loves all who fear him,
And to his mercy flee.
7 O Salem, praise Jehovah,
Thy God, O Zion, praise;
For he thy gates has strengthened,
And blessed thy sons with grace.
8 With peace he'll bless thy borders,
The finest wheat afford;
He sends forth his commandment,
And swiftly speeds his word.
9 Like wool the snow he giveth,
Spreads hail o'er all the land,
Hoar frost like ashes scatters;
Who can his cold withstand?
10 Then forth his word he sendeth,
He makes his wind to blow;
The snow and ice are melted,
Again the waters flow.
11 He shows his word to Jacob,
To Israel's seed alone;
His statutes and his judgments
The heathen have not known.
Praise ye the Lord!
