¹ Hallelujah; ² The LORD doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel;³ Who healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.⁴ He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names.⁵ Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.⁶ The LORD upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.⁷ Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God;⁸ Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, 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 no pleasure in the legs of a man.¹¹ The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that wait for His mercy.

¹² Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.¹³ For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.¹⁴ He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.¹⁵ He sendeth out 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 crumbs; who can stand before His cold?¹⁸ He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.¹⁹ He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.²⁰ He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His ordinances, they have not known them.
