[1]Praiseye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
[2]TheLORD buildeth up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
[3]Hehealeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
[4]Hetelleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
[5]Greatis our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
[6]TheLORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
[7]Singto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp to our God:
[8]Whocovereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
[9]Hegiveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
[10]Hedelighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
[11]TheLORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
[12]Praisethe LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
[13]Forhe hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
[14]Hemaketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
[15]Hesendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
[16]Hegiveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
[17]Hecasteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
[18]Hesendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
[19]Heshoweth his word to Jacob, his statutes and his judgments to Israel.
[20]Hehath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
