6The Lord lifts up the down-trodden, the wicked he brings to the ground.
7Sing songs of thanks to the Lord, and play on the lyre to our God.
8For he covers the sky with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, makes grass to grow on the mountains.
9He gives the cattle their food the young ravens when they cry.
10His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, his joy is not in the speed of a runner;
11but the Lord has his pleasure in those who fear him, in those who wait for his kindness.
12Praise the Lord, then, O Jerusalem: sing praise to your God, O Zion.
