1Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing unto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and praise is comely.
2The Lord doth build up Jerusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth up their sores.
4He counteth the number of the stars, and calleth them all by their names.
5Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdom is infinite.
6The Lord relieveth the meek, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.
7Sing unto the Lord with praise: sing upon the harp unto our God,
8Which covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth, and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains:
9Which giveth to beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry.
10He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.
11But the Lord delighteth in them that fear him, and attend upon his mercy.
12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Zion.
13For he hath made the bars of the gates strong, and hath blessed thy children within thee.
14He setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the flour of wheat.
15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth, and his word runneth very swiftly.
16He giveth snow like wool, and scattereth the hoary frost like ashes.
17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can abide the cold thereof?
18He sendeth his word and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20He hath not dealt so with every nation, neither have they known his judgments. Praise ye the Lord.
