PSALM CXLVI. 146
Alleluia. Of Aggeus and Zacharias.
Praise ye the Lord, for a psalm is a good thing; let praise be sweet unto our God.
The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem, He shall gather together the dispersed of Israel.
He healeth the broken in heart and bindeth their fractures together.
He numbereth the multitude of the stars and calleth them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and great is His strength, and of His understanding there is no measure.
The Lord lifteth up the meek, but humbleth sinners to the earth.
Begin your song to the Lord with thanksgiving, chant unto God with the harp, To Him that covereth heaven with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and green herb for the service of man, Who giveth to the beasts their food, and to the younglings of the ravens which call upon Him. He shall not delight in the strength of a horse, nor in the legs of man is He well pleased. The Lord is well pleased in them that fear Him, and in them that hope in His mercy." [page 222.].
