He Heals the Brokenhearted

^1 (F1)Praise Yah!
For ^(C1)it is good to sing praises to our God;
For ^(F2)it is pleasant and praise is ^(C2)becoming.

² Yahweh ^(C1)builds up Jerusalem;
He ^(C2)gathers the ^(F1)outcasts of Israel.

³ He is the One who heals the ^(C1)brokenhearted
And who ^(C2)binds up their ^(F1)wounds,

⁴ Who ^(C1)counts the number of the stars;
He ^(F1)(C2)gives names to all of them.

^5 (C1)Great is our Lord and abundant in power;
His ^(C2)discernment is ^(F1)infinite.

⁶ Yahweh ^(F1)(C1)helps up the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.

^7 (C1)Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre.

⁸ He is the One who ^(C1)covers the heavens with clouds,
The One who ^(C2)provides rain for the earth,
The One who ^(C3)makes grass to sprout on the mountains,

⁹ Who ^(C1)gives to the animal its food,
And to the ^(C2)young ravens which call out.

¹⁰ He does not delight in the might of the ^(C1)horse;
He ^(C2)does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹¹ Yahweh ^(C1)is pleased with those who fear Him,
^(C2)Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

¹² Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!

¹³ For He strengthened the ^(C1)bars of your gates;
He ^(C2)blessed your sons within you.

¹⁴ He is the One who ^(C1)sets ^(F1)peace in your borders,
He ^(C2)satisfies you with ^(C3)the ^(F2)finest of the wheat,

¹⁵ The One who sends forth His ^(C1)command to the earth;
His ^(C2)word runs very swiftly,

¹⁶ The One who gives ^(C1)snow like wool;
He scatters the ^(C2)frost like ashes,

¹⁷ Who casts forth His ^(C1)ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His ^(C2)cold?

¹⁸ He ^(C1)sends forth His word and melts them;
He ^(C2)causes His wind to blow and so the waters flow,

¹⁹ Who ^(C1)declares His words to Jacob,
His ^(C2)statutes and His judgments to Israel.

²⁰ He ^(C1)has not done so with any nation;
So as for His judgments, they have ^(C2)not known them.
^(F1)Praise Yah!
