3. He heals the broken in heart,and binds up their wounds.
4. He counts the number of the stars.He calls them all by their names.
5. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.His understanding is infinite.
6. The Lord upholds the humble.He brings 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 sky with clouds,who prepares rain for the earth,who makes grass grow on the mountains.
9. He provides food for the livestock,and for the young ravens when they call.
