1 Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God! How pleasant and right it is to praise him!
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He gathers the scattered people of Israel.
3 He heals those who have broken hearts. He takes care of their wounds.
4 He decides how many stars there should be. He gives each one of them a name.
5 Great is our Lord. His power is mighty. There is no limit to his understanding.
6 The Lord gives strength to those who aren't proud. But he throws evil people down to the ground.
7 Sing to the Lord and give thanks to him. Make music to our God on the harp.
