6 The Lord lifts up the oppressed,but knocks the wicked to the ground.
7 Offer to the Lord a song of thanks!Sing praises to our God to the accompaniment of a harp!
8 He covers the sky with clouds,provides the earth with rain,and causes grass to grow on the hillsides.
9 He gives food to the animals,and to the young ravens when they chirp.
10 He is not enamored with the strength of a horse,nor is he impressed by the warrior’s strong legs.
11 The Lord takes delight in his faithful followers,and in those who wait for his loyal love.
12 Extol the Lord, O Jerusalem!Praise your God, O Zion!
