It is good to sing praise to our God;
    it is pleasant and right to praise him.
² The Lord is restoring Jerusalem;
    he is bringing back the exiles.
³ He heals the broken-hearted
    and bandages their wounds.

⁴ He has decided the number of the stars
    and calls each one by name.
⁵ Great and mighty is our Lord;
    his wisdom cannot be measured.
⁶ He raises the humble,
    but crushes the wicked to the ground.

⁷ Sing hymns of praise to the Lord;
    play music on the harp to our God.
⁸ He spreads clouds over the sky;
    he provides rain for the earth
    and makes grass grow on the hills.
⁹ He gives animals their food
    and feeds the young ravens when they call.

¹⁰ His pleasure is not in strong horses,
    nor his delight in brave soldiers;
¹¹ but he takes pleasure in those who honor him,
    in those who trust in his constant love.

Praise the Lord!
