1 Alleluia, a Psalm of Haggai and Zechariah. Praise ye the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; Let praise be sweetly sung to our God.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 takes pleasure in them that fear him, And in all that hope in his mercy.2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; And he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.3 He heals the broken in heart, And binds up their wounds.4 He numbers the multitudes of stars; And calls them all by names.5 Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; And his understanding is infinite.6 The Lord lifts up the meek; But brings sinners down to the ground.7 Begin the song with thanksgiving to the Lord; Sing praises on the harp to our God:8 Who covers the heaven with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, And green herb for the service of men;9 And gives to cattle their food, And to the young ravens that call upon him.
