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.
