1
|
Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. |
2
|
The LORD buildeth 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 to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp to 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 hoar-frost 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 showeth his word to Jacob, his statutes and his judgments to Israel. |
20
|
He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. |
