1. Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
2. The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3. He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
4. He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.
5. Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.
6. The Lord supports the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground.
7. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre,
8. Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
