Psalms 106 48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
Psalms 147 1 Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; it is fitting to praise our God,
2 Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. [..] 13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you. 14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat. 15 He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly. 16 He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes. 17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold? [..] 20 He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!
Psalms 104 1 Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh,
You are clothed with honor and majesty. 2 He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. 3 He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind. 4 He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire. 5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever. [..] 8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them. 9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don’t turn again to cover the earth. 10 He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. 11 They give drink to The wild donkeys quench their thirst. [..] 14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth: 15 wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart. [..] 22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens. 23 Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening. 24 Yahweh, how many are your works! In
wisdom The earth is full of your riches. 25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals. [..] 33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. 34 Let my meditation be sweet to him.
35 Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
