For it is good to sing praises to our God;

and binds up their wounds.

The Lord helps the oppressed

but brings the wicked to the ground.

his understanding is unlimited.

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.

He healeth the broken in heart,

And bindeth up their wounds.

He calleth them all by their names.

Great is our Lord, and of great power:

His understanding is infinite.

The Lord lifteth up the meek:

He casteth the wicked down to the ground.
