1 Hallelujah. 2The LORD builds up Jerusalem, 3He heals the broken in heart, 4He counts the numberless stars, 5Great is our LORD, rich in power, 6The LORD lifts up the down-trodden, 7Sing songs of thanks to the LORD, 8For he covers the sky with clouds, 9He gives the cattle their food 10His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, 11but the LORD has his pleasure in those who fear him, 12Praise the LORD, then, O Jerusalem: 13For he strengthens the bars of your gates, 14He brings peace to your borders, 15He sends his command to the earth: 16Snow he gives like wool, 17He casts forth his ice like morsels: 18He sends forth his word, and melts them: 19He declares his word to Jacob, 20No other nation did he do this for,
