Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
\nThe LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
\nHe healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
\nHe telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
\nGreat is our LORD, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
\nThe LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
\nSing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
\nWho covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
\nHe giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
\nHe delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
\nThe LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
\nPraise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
\nFor he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
\nHe maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
\nHe sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth wery swiftly.
\nHe giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
\nHe castest forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
\nHe sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
\nHe sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
\nHe hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
