Praise ye
the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our
God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
02 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth
together the outcasts of Israel.
03 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up
their wounds.
04 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth
them all by their names.
05 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his
understanding is infinite.
06 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the
wicked down to the ground.
07 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing
praise upon the harp unto our God:
08 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who
prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to
grow upon the mountains.
09 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the
young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the
horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a
man.

11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear
him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God,
O Zion.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy
gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth
thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth:
his word runneth very swiftly.
16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the
hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can
stand before his cold?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he
causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes
and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as
for his judgments, they have not known them.
Praise ye the Lord.
