1Hallelujah!
It is good to sing psalms to our God.
It is pleasant to sing ⸤his⸥ praise beautifully.
2The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem.
He is the one who gathers the outcasts of Israel together.
3He is the healer of the brokenhearted.
He is the one who bandages their wounds.
4He determines the number of stars.
He gives each one a name.
5Our Lord is great, and his power is great.
There is no limit to his understanding.
6The Lord gives relief to those who are oppressed.
He brings wicked people down to the ground.
