          <hebrew>הַלְלוּיָהּ, כִּי טוֹב זַמְּרָה
אֱלֹהֵינוּ, כִּי נָעִים
נָאוָה תְהִלָּה: בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלַיִם
יְהֹוָה, נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּס:
הָרוֹפֵא לִשְׁבוּרֵי לֵב,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; וּמְחַבֵּשׁ
לְעַצְּבוֹתָם: מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר
לַכּוֹכָבִים, לְכֻלָּם שֵׁמוֹת
יִקְרָא:&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב כֹּחַ,
לִתְבוּנָתוֹ אֵין מִסְפָּר: מְעוֹדֵד
עֲנָוִים יְהֹוָה, מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים
עֲדֵי אָרֶץ: עֱנוּ לַיהוָה בְּתוֹדָה,
זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְּכִנּוֹר:</hebrew>
          <english>הַלְלוּיָהּ &lt;b&gt;Praise the Lord, Sing to our God because He is good.&lt;/b&gt; It is fitting to &lt;b&gt;praise Him&lt;/b&gt; because &lt;b&gt;He is pleasant. The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem.&lt;/b&gt; God will gather together those of the Children of Israel, who are &lt;b&gt;scattered&lt;/b&gt; across distant lands, and He will &lt;b&gt;bring them in&lt;/b&gt; to Jerusalem when it is rebuilt. &lt;b&gt;He is the healer of broken-hearted&lt;/b&gt; people,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;b&gt;and He bandages their wounds. He counts the number of stars&lt;/b&gt; in the sky and &lt;b&gt;gives a name to each one,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; even the most distant ones. So too, He counts and remembers even the most distant Jewish person. &lt;b&gt;Our Master,&lt;/b&gt; God, can do all of this because &lt;b&gt;He is great and very powerful,&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;His understanding is unlimited. The Lord encourages humble&lt;/b&gt; people, and &lt;b&gt;He lowers wicked&lt;/b&gt; people &lt;b&gt;down to the ground. Raise your voices to the Lord in thanks, and play on a harp for our God.&lt;/b&gt;</english>

          <hebrew>הַמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם בְּעָבִים,
הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר, הַמַּצְמִיחַ
הָרִים חָצִיר: נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;
לַחְמָהּ, לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר
יִקְרָאוּ: לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס
יֶחְפָּץ, לֹא בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ

אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּוֹן: כִּי חִזַּק בְּרִיחֵי
שְׁעָרָיִךְ, בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּךְ:
הַשָּׂם גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם, חֵלֶב
חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵךְ: הַשֹּׁלֵחַ
אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ, עַד מְהֵרָה

קָרָתוֹ מִי יַעֲמֹד: יִשְׁלַח

יִזְּלוּ מָיִם: מַגִּיד דְּבָרָיו

יְדָעוּם, הַלְלוּיָהּ:&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;</hebrew>
          <english>&lt;b&gt;He covers the heaven with clouds. He prepares rain for the earth and makes grass grow on mountains.&lt;/b&gt; By doing this, &lt;b&gt;He provides food for animals&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; living on mountains, which would otherwise have nothing to eat. God even feeds young, helpless &lt;b&gt;ravens&lt;/b&gt; that are left alone by their parents, &lt;b&gt;when they call out for food. He does not desire&lt;/b&gt; those who rely on &lt;b&gt;the strength of a horse,&lt;/b&gt; instead of relying on Him, to save them in a war. He also &lt;b&gt;does not want a person&lt;/b&gt; who relies on &lt;b&gt;the strength of his legs. The Lord wants&lt;/b&gt; those &lt;b&gt;who fear Him,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; people who long &lt;b&gt;for His kindness&lt;/b&gt; and trust in &lt;b&gt;Him.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;b&gt;Thank the Lord,&lt;/b&gt; people who live in the rebuilt &lt;b&gt;Jerusalem. Praise your God,&lt;/b&gt; people of &lt;b&gt;Zion&lt;/b&gt; (Jerusalem), because &lt;b&gt;He has strengthened the bolts of your cities&apos;&lt;/b&gt; gates and protected you from your enemies. He has blessed &lt;b&gt;your children&lt;/b&gt; with success, those who live in your &lt;b&gt;midst. He makes&lt;/b&gt; sure that there is &lt;b&gt;peace&lt;/b&gt; and safety within &lt;b&gt;your borders.&lt;/b&gt; He takes care of you and gives you the &lt;b&gt;best wheat to satisfy you. He sends forth His word&lt;/b&gt; to control the weather on &lt;b&gt;Earth;&lt;/b&gt; the rain runs so &lt;b&gt;quickly&lt;/b&gt; to follow &lt;b&gt;His order. He gives us snow,&lt;/b&gt; as white &lt;b&gt;as wool. He scatters frost like ashes&lt;/b&gt; over the ground on cold mornings. &lt;b&gt;He throws His ice&lt;/b&gt; in chunks, making hail. &lt;b&gt;Who can withstand&lt;/b&gt; the cold that God can create? But as soon as He wants to, &lt;b&gt;He sends His order and&lt;/b&gt; all the &lt;b&gt;ice melts, and He blows His warm wind&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;the waters flow&lt;/b&gt; again. Praise God because &lt;b&gt;He&lt;/b&gt; revealed Himself and &lt;b&gt;told His words&lt;/b&gt; of Torah to the Children of &lt;b&gt;Jacob. He gave His commandments,&lt;/b&gt; some with reasons and some without reasons, to the Children of &lt;b&gt;Israel. He didn&apos;t do this for any other nation;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;b&gt;they don&apos;t know the commandments&lt;/b&gt; of His Torah. For giving us the wonderful gift of Torah, thank and &lt;b&gt;praise the Lord.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;</english>

          <text>2 Jewish people are compared to stars. Just as a star seems small to us (from earth) but is in fact very large, so is every Jewish person significant. Every one of us has a special “name”—we each contribute something unique and valuable to the world.</text>

          <text>3 A person should consider: If an animal can find its sustenance without worry, certainly humans, who are the highest of all creations, should not need to be concerned about it! A person worries about his livelihood only because his negative behavior causes his livelihood to be withheld. Through repentance he can fix this problem and no longer need to worry.</text>

          <text>4 The “horse” in this verse symbolizes words of prayer. Just as a horse transports things from one place to another, so do words of prayer carry a person to a higher level of emotional attachment to God. However, God is not content with these emotions, as powerful as they may be, because they are carried by a “horse”—they come from an external source (prayer). God wants our emotions to be internal—He desires people who “fear Him” innately, without the dependence on prayer.</text>

          <text>6 The written Torah is written and available “for all nations” to read, and it may therefore be misinterpreted by them. The Oral Torah, on the other hand, is spoken only by the Jewish Nation; they are God’s “words” that are exclusively for the descendants of “Jacob” and nobody else.</text>

          <text>7 An alternative interpretation of these two verses: Only one who speaks God’s “words to Jacob” (i.e. words of Torah), and does not speak the words of “any other nation” (i.e. mundane, worldly issues), will be able to “praise the Lord” properly.</text>
