Psalms 146

¹Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God

²The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel

³He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows

⁴He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names

⁵Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number

⁶The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground

⁷Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument

⁸He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men

⁹He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him

¹⁰He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man

¹¹The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy
