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