1. Praise the Lord!For it is good to sing praises to our God;for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
2. The Lord builds up Jerusalem;he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3. He heals the brokenheartedand binds up their wounds.
4. He determines the number of the stars;he gives to all of them their names.
5. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.
6. The Lord lifts up the humble;he casts the wicked to the ground.
