Psalm 147 1:11
” How good is to praise our God. The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem, and gathers Israel’s exiles. God heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. God knows the number of the stars and calls each one by name. Great is, and mighty in power; there is no limit to God’s wisdom. God lifts up the oppressed, and casts the corrupt to the ground. Sing to our God with thanksgiving; sing praise with the harp to our God— who covers the heavens with clouds, who provides rain for the earth, who makes grass sprout on the mountains and herbs for the service of the people, who gives food to the cattle, and to the young ravens when they cry. God does not thrill to the strength of the horse, or revel in the fleetness of humans. God delights in those who worship with reverence and put their hope in divine love.”
