Psalms 147:1-9

¹Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is comely; him becometh praise.

²The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: the outcasts of Israel will he gather together;

³He that healeth the broken-hearted, and bindeth up their hurts;

⁴Who counteth the number of the stars; who calleth them all by their names.

⁵Great is our Lord, and abundant in power: his understanding is immeasurable.

⁶The Lord helpeth up the meek: he bringeth down the wicked to the ground.

⁷Lift up a song unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises unto our God with the harp;

⁸Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who causeth grass to grow upon the mountains;

⁹Who giveth to the beast its food, to the young ravens which cry.
