א הַלְלוּ-יָהּ: כִּי-טוֹב, זַמְּרָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ-- כִּי-נָעִים, נָאוָה תְהִלָּה. |
1 Hallelujah; {N} for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely. |
ב בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלִַם יְהוָה; נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּס. |
2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel; |
ג הָרֹפֵא, לִשְׁבוּרֵי לֵב; וּמְחַבֵּשׁ, לְעַצְּבוֹתָם. |
3 Who healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. |
ד מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר, לַכּוֹכָבִים; לְכֻלָּם, שֵׁמוֹת יִקְרָא. |
4 He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names. |
ה גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב-כֹּחַ; לִתְבוּנָתוֹ, אֵין מִסְפָּר. |
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. |
ו מְעוֹדֵד עֲנָוִים יְהוָה; מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים עֲדֵי-אָרֶץ. |
6 The LORD upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground. |
ז עֱנוּ לַיהוָה בְּתוֹדָה; זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְכִנּוֹר. |
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God; |
ח הַמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם, בְּעָבִים-- הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר; הַמַּצְמִיחַ הָרִים חָצִיר. |
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, {N} who maketh the mountains to spring with grass. |
ט נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ; לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב, אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָאוּ. |
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. |
י לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ; לֹא-בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶה. |
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. |
יא רוֹצֶה יְהוָה, אֶת-יְרֵאָיו-- אֶת-הַמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּוֹ. |
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that wait for His mercy. |
יב שַׁבְּחִי יְרוּשָׁלִַם, אֶת-יְהוָה; הַלְלִי אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּוֹן. |
12 Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. |
יג כִּי-חִזַּק, בְּרִיחֵי שְׁעָרָיִךְ; בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּךְ. |
13 For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. |
יד הַשָּׂם-גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם; חֵלֶב חִטִּים, יַשְׂבִּיעֵךְ. |
14 He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat. |
טו הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ; עַד-מְהֵרָה, יָרוּץ דְּבָרוֹ. |
15 He sendeth out His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly. |
טז הַנֹּתֵן שֶׁלֶג כַּצָּמֶר; כְּפוֹר, כָּאֵפֶר יְפַזֵּר. |
16 He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. |
יז מַשְׁלִיךְ קַרְחוֹ כְפִתִּים; לִפְנֵי קָרָתוֹ, מִי יַעֲמֹד. |
17 He casteth forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold? |
יח יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם; יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ, יִזְּלוּ-מָיִם. |
18 He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow. |
יט מַגִּיד דְּבָרָו לְיַעֲקֹב; חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו, לְיִשְׂרָאֵל. |
19 He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel. |
כ לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן, לְכָל-גּוֹי-- וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל-יְדָעוּם: הַלְלוּ-יָהּ. |
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His ordinances, they have not known them. {N} Hallelujah. |
