Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.

The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3
He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
4
He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.
5
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
6
The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.
7
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God,
8
Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
