3. He heals the broken-heartedand binds up their wounds.
4. He determines the number of the starsand calls them each by name.
5. Great is our Lord and mighty in power;his understanding has no limit.
6. The Lord sustains the humblebut casts the wicked to the ground.
7. Sing to the Lord with grateful praise;make music to our God on the harp.
