God

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.

ADONAI protects all who love him, but all the wicked he destroys.

My mouth will proclaim the praise of ADONAI; all people will bless his holy name forever and ever.

Halleluyah! Praise ADONAI, my soul!

I will praise ADONAI as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God all my life.

Happy is he whose help is Ya'akov's God, whose hope is in ADONAI his God.

He secures justice for the oppressed, he gives food to the hungry. ADONAI sets prisoners free,

ADONAI opens the eyes of the blind, ADONAI lifts up those who are bent over. ADONAI loves the righteous.

ADONAI watches over strangers, he sustains the fatherless and widows; but the way of the wicked he twists.

ADONAI will reign forever, your God, Tziyon, through all generations. Halleluyah!

Halleluyah! How good it is to sing praises to our God! How sweet, how fitting to praise him!

ADONAI is rebuilding Yerushalayim, gathering the dispersed of Isra'el.

He determines how many stars there are and calls them all by name.

Our Lord is great, his power is vast, his wisdom beyond all telling.

ADONAI sustains the humble but brings the wicked down to the ground.

Sing to ADONAI with thanks, sing praises on the lyre to our God.

He takes no delight in the strength of a horse, no pleasure in a runner's speed.

ADONAI takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who wait for his grace.

Glorify ADONAI, Yerushalayim! Praise your God, Tziyon!

For he strengthens the bars of your gates, he blesses your children within you,

He sends his word out over the earth, his command runs swiftly.

Thus he gives snow like wool, scatters hoarfrost like ashes,

sends crystals of ice like crumbs of bread -who can withstand such cold?

Then he sends his word out and melts them; he makes the winds blow, and the water flows.

He reveals his words to Ya'akov, his laws and rulings to Isra'el.
