PSALMS 147:1-9

¹Praise ye the LORD; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

²The LORD doth build up Jerusalem; he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

³He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

⁴He telleth the number of the stars; he giveth them all their names.

⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; his understanding is infinite.

⁶The LORD upholdeth the meek: he bringeth the wicked down to the ground.

⁷Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praises upon the harp unto our God:

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

⁹He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
