Praise ye the LORD
: for it is good
to sing praises
unto our God
; for it is pleasant
; and praise
is comely
.
The LORD doth build up
Jerusalem
: he gathereth together
the outcasts
of Israel
.
He healeth the broken
in heart
, and bindeth up
their wounds
.
He telleth the number
of the stars
; he calleth
them all by their names
.
Great is our Lord
, and of great
power
: his understanding
is infinite
.
The LORD lifteth up
the meek
: he casteth
the wicked
down
to the ground
.
Sing unto the LORD
with thanksgiving
; sing praise
upon the harp
unto our God
:
Who covereth the heaven
with clouds
, who prepareth
rain
for the earth
, who maketh grass
to grow
upon the mountains
.
He giveth to the beast
his food
, and to the young
ravens
which cry
.
He delighteth not in the strength
of the horse
: he taketh not pleasure
in the legs
of a man
.
The LORD taketh pleasure
in them that fear
him, in those that hope
in his mercy
.
Praise the LORD
, O Jerusalem
; praise
thy God
, O Zion
.
For he hath strengthened the bars
of thy gates
; he hath blessed
thy children
within
thee.
He maketh peace
in thy borders
, and filleth
thee with the finest
of the wheat
.
He sendeth forth his commandment
upon earth
: his word
runneth
very swiftly
.
He giveth snow
like wool
: he scattereth
the hoarfrost
like ashes
.
He casteth forth his ice
like morsels
: who can stand
before
his cold
?
He sendeth out his word
, and melteth
them: he causeth his wind
to blow
, and the waters
flow
.
He sheweth his word
unto Jacob
, his statutes
and his judgments
unto Israel
.
He hath not dealt so with any nation
: and as for his judgments
, they have not known
them. Praise
ye the LORD
.
