1. Praise ye Hashem: for it is tov to sing praises unto Eloheinu; for it is na'im (pleasant); and tehillah is fitting.
2. Hashem is the Boneh Yerushalayim (builder of Jerusalem): He gathereth together the nidkhei Yisroel (the outcasts Of Israel, those of the Golus).
3. He is the Rofeh (healer) of the Shevurei-lev (broken in heart), binds up their wounds.
4. He determines the mispar of the kokhavim; He calleth them all by their shemot.
5. Gadol is Adoneinu, and of rav ko'ach; to His tevunah (understanding, intelligence) there is no mispar (number, limit).
6. Hashem lifteth up the anavim (meek ones, humble ones); He casteth the resha'im down to the ground.
7. Sing unto Hashem with todah; make music upon the kinnor (harp) unto Eloheinu:
8. Who covereth Shomayim with clouds, Who prepareth matar (rainfall) for ha'aretz, HaMatzemi'ach (Who maketh to spring up) the khatzir (grass) upon the harim (hills, mountains).
9. He giveth to the behemah her lechem, and to the bnei orev (young ravens) when they cry out.
