2The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.
3He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.
4He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.
5Great is our Lord, and great his power; there is no limit to his wisdom.
6The Lord gives help to the poor in spirit; but he sends sinners down in shame.
7Make songs of praise to the Lord; make melody to our God with instruments of music.
8By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.
