Psalm 146

¹ Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggeus and Zacharias.

Praise ye the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing;

let praise be sweetly sung to our God.

² The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem;

and he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.

³ He healeth the broken in heart,

and bindeth up their wounds.

⁴ He numbereth the multitudes of stars;

and calleth them all by names.

⁵ Great is our Lord, and great is his strength;

and his understanding is infinite.

⁶ The Lord lifteth up the meek;

but bringeth sinners down to the ground.

⁷ Begin the song with thanksgiving to the Lord;

sing praises on the harp to our God:

⁸ who covereth the heaven with clouds,

who prepareth rain for the earth,

who causeth grass to spring up on the mountains,

^[1]and green herb for the service of men;

⁹ and giveth to cattle their food,

and to the young ravens that call upon him.

¹⁰ He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse;

neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.

¹¹ The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him,

and in all that hope in his mercy.
