² The Lord doth build up Jerusalem:
he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
³ He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds.
⁴ He telleth the number of the stars;
he calleth them all by their names.
⁵ Great is our Lord, and of great power:
his understanding is infinite.
⁶ The Lord lifteth up the meek:
he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

⁷ Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;
sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
⁸ who covereth the heaven with clouds,
who prepareth rain for the earth,
who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
⁹ 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.
