Praise for God’s Care for Jerusalem

1 Praise the Lord!
How good it is to sing praises to our God;

    he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the broken-hearted,
    and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars;
    he gives to all of them their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
    his understanding is beyond measure.
