הַלְלוּיָהּ כִּי טוֹב זַמְּרָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּי נָעִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּה:

Hallelujah! For it is good to sing to our God; because He is pleasant, praise is fitting for Him.

בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלִַם יְהוָה נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּס:

The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem; He will gather the outcasts of Israel.

הָרֹפֵא לִשְׁבוּרֵי לֵב וּמְחַבֵּשׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָם:

Who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִים לְכֻלָּם שֵׁמוֹת יִקְרָא:

He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.

גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב כֹּחַ לִתְבוּנָתוֹ אֵין מִסְפָּר:

Our Lord is great and has much strength; His understanding cannot be calculated.

מְעוֹדֵד עֲנָוִים יְהוָה מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים עֲדֵי אָרֶץ:

The Lord strengthens the humble; He humbles the wicked to the ground.

עֱנוּ לַיהוָה בְּתוֹדָה זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְכִנּוֹר:

Shout to the Lord with thanks; sing praises to our God with a lyre.

הַמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם בְּעָבִים הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר הַמַּצְמִיחַ הָרִים חָצִיר:

Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who causes the mountains to sprout grass.

נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָאוּ:

He gives the animal its food, to the young ravens which call out.

לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ לֹא בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶה:

He does not desire the might of the horse, nor does He take pleasure in the legs of man.

רוֹצֶה יְהוָה אֶת יְרֵאָיו אֶת הַמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּוֹ:

The Lord desires those who fear Him, those who hope for His kindness.

שַׁבְּחִי יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶת יְהוָה הַלְלִי אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּוֹן:

O Jerusalem, praise the Lord; extol Your God, O Zion.

כִּי חִזַּק בְּרִיחֵי שְׁעָרָיִךְ בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּךְ:

For He strengthened the bars of your gates; He blessed your children within you.

הַשָּׂם גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם חֵלֶב חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵךְ:

Within your borders He makes peace; with the best of the wheat He will sate you.

הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ עַד מְהֵרָה יָרוּץ דְּבָרוֹ:

He sends His commandment to the earth; His word runs swiftly.

הַנֹּתֵן שֶׁלֶג כַּצָּמֶר כְּפוֹר כָּאֵפֶר יְפַזֵּר:

He gives snow like wool; He scatters hoarfrost like ashes.

מַשְׁלִיךְ קַרְחוֹ כְפִתִּים לִפְנֵי קָרָתוֹ מִי יַעֲמֹד:

He hurls His ice like crumbs; before His cold, who can stand?

יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ יִזְּלוּ מָיִם:

He sends His word and melts them; He blows His wind; water runs.

מַגִּיד (דברו) דְּבָרָיו לְיַעֲקֹב חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו לְיִשְׂרָאֵל:

He tells His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן לְכָל גּוֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל יְדָעוּם הַלְלוּיָהּ:

He did not do so to any nation, and they did not know the judgments. Hallelujah!
