1 Praise the Lord.How good it is to sing praises to our God,how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;he gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 He heals the broken-heartedand binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the starsand calls them each by name.
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power;his understanding has no limit.
6 The Lord sustains the humblebut casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the Lord with grateful praise;make music to our God on the harp.
