          "english": "Halleluyah! Praise God. How good to sing to our God sweet and delightful words of praise. Adonai will rebuild Jerusalem, gather in the dispersed people of Israel; the one who heals the broken-hearted, and binds their wounds, the one who counts the stars and names each and every one of them is our great sovereign, infinitely powerful. God’s designs are beyond recounting. Adonai gives heart to the humble and throws the wicked to the ground. Call out to Adonai in thanksgiving, and with the music of the lyre sing to God who covers the heavens with clouds providing rain for the earth, that grass may flourish on the hillsides—food for livestock and for the raven’s crying nestlings. Victorious chariots do not please God, nor is it the warrior’s strong arms that God desires. Adonai desires those who revere the Divine, those who look to God’s love and kindness. O Jerusalem, sing the praises of Adonai; Zion, celebrate your God. For God has strengthened the posts of your gates, blessed your children within, brought peace to your borders, and satisfied you with the fat of the harvest. God sends the divine word to earth; how quickly these commands are obeyed: snow piles up like fleece, frost spreads like ash, hailstones are tossed like crumbs—who could withstand the cold?—then word is sent for the ice to melt; winds cease blowing and water flows. God enunciates commands to Jacob, precepts and just decrees to the people Israel. No other nation has been so provided; they do not know of just decrees. Praise God, halleluyah!",

Those who currently exercise dominion will be defeated, for in the mind of the psalmist, acting justly represents true power."

Abraham Isaac Kook (1865–1935, the Land of Israel) comments on God’s ability to name each and every star and keep them all in place. From this, he derives a lesson about the people Israel, who are compared to the stars (Genesis 15:5): each person has an individual purpose and dream, but is also a part of the collective destiny of the people Israel; each adds something new and special to the collective."
