to every nation!

The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem
and bringing the exiles back to Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted,
binding up their wounds.
He counts the stars and calls them all by name.
How great is our Lord! His power is absolute!
His understanding is beyond comprehension!
The Lord supports the humble, but He
brings the wicked down into the dust.
Sing out your thanks to the Lord; sing
praises to our God, accompanied by harps.
He covers the heavens with clouds,
provides rain for the earth, and makes
the green grass grow in mountain pastures.
He feeds the wild animals, and the
young ravens cry to Him for food.
The strength of a horse does not impress Him;
how puny in His sight is the strength of a man.
Rather, the Lord's delight is in those
who honor Him, those who put their
hope in His unfailing love.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
For He has fortified the bars of your gates
and blessed your children within you.
He sends peace across your nation and
satisfies you with plenty of the finest wheat.
He sends His orders to the world--
how swiftly His word flies!
He send the snow like white wool;
He scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
He hurls the hail like stones.
Who can stand against His freezing cold?
Then, at His command, it all melts.
He send His winds, and the ice thaws.
He has revealed His words to Jacob,
His principles and laws to Israel.
He has not done this with any other nation;
they do not know His laws.
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 150

Praise the Lord!
Praise God in His heavenly dwelling;
praise Him in His mighty heaven!
Praise Him for His mighty works;
praise His unequaled greatness!
Praise Him with a blast of the trumpet;
praise Him with the lyre and harp!
Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing;
praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Praise Him with a clash of cymbals;
praise Him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that lives
sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
