1<\/sup>Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.<\/span> <\/p>\n
