1Praise ye the LORD! For it is good to sing praise to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is becoming.
2The LORD buildeth up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel.
3He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.
4He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.
5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
6The LORD lifteth up the lowly; He casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp to our God!
8Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who causeth grass to grow upon the mountains.
