PSALM 147. _Laudate Dominum_.
O praise the Lord, for it is a good thing to sing praises unto our
God: yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: and gather together the
out-casts of Israel.
3 He healeth those that are broken in heart: and giveth medicine
to heal their sickness.
4 He telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by
their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power: yea, and his wisdom
is infinite.
6 The Lord setteth up the meek: and bringeth the ungodly down to
the ground.
7 O sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving: sing praises upon the
harp unto our God;
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the
earth: and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, and herb
for the use of men;
9 Who giveth fodder unto the cattle: and feedeth the young ravens
that call upon him.
10 He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse: neither
delighteth he in any man's legs.
11 But the Lord's delight is in them that fear him: and put their
trust in his mercy.
