He heals the (A)brokenhearted
And (B)binds up their [a]wounds.
He (C)counts the number of the stars;
He [b](D)gives names to all of them.
(E)Great is our Lord and abundant in strength;
His (F)understanding is [c]infinite.
The Lord [d](G)supports the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.

(H)Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre,
Who (I)covers the heavens with clouds,
Who (J)provides rain for the earth,
Who (K)makes grass to [e]grow on the mountains.
He (L)gives to the beast its food,
And to the (M)young ravens which cry.
