[5] Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
[6] The LORD lifteth up the
meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
[7] Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise
upon the harp unto our God:
[8] Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth,
who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
[9] He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young
ravens which cry.
[10] He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of
a man.

[12] Praise
the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
[13] For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he
hath blessed thy children within thee.
[14] He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest
of the wheat.
[15] He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
[16] He
giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
[17] He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who
can stand before his cold?
[18] He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow,
and the waters flow.
[19] He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
[20]
He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the
LORD.

and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
[10] Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
[11]
Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
[12] Both young men, and maidens; old
men, and children:
[13] Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory
is above the earth and heaven.

of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

[9] To execute upon them the judgment
written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
