Praise ye the Lord:
For it is good to sing praises unto our God;
For it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
The Lord doth build up Jerusalem:
He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

And bindeth up their wounds.

His understanding is infinite.
The Lord lifteth up the meek:
He casteth the wicked down to the ground.
