Praise the LORD!
For it is good to sing praises to our [gracious and majestic] God;
Praise is becoming and appropriate.
He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].
Great is our [majestic and mighty] Lord and abundant in strength;
His understanding is inexhaustible [infinite, boundless].
Who covers the heavens with clouds,
Who provides rain for the earth,
Who makes grass grow on the mountains.
He does not delight in the strength (military power) of the horse,
Nor does He take pleasure in the legs (strength) of a man.
The LORD favors those who fear and worship Him [with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
Those who wait for His mercy and lovingkindness.
He sends out His word and melts the ice;
He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.
He has not dealt this way with any [other] nation;
They have not known [understood, appreciated, heeded, or cherished] His ordinances.
Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
