Psalms, 146
An exhortation to praise God for his benefits.
Laudate Dominum.
[1] Alleluia. Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise. •
[2] The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel. •
[3] Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises. •
[4] Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names. •
[5] Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number. •
[6] The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground. •
[7] Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp. •
[8] Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men. •
[9] Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him. •
[10] He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man. •
[11] The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
