ForjPs. 92:1 it is good to sing praises to our God;
forkPs. 135:3 it is pleasant,1Or for he is beautiful andlPs. 33:1 a song of praise is fitting.
2 The LordmPs. 51:18; 102:16 builds up Jerusalem;
henDeut. 30:3; Isa. 11:12; 27:13; 56:8; Ezek. 39:28 gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healsoPs. 34:18 the brokenhearted
andpEzek. 34:16 binds up their wounds.
4 Heq[Gen. 15:5] determines the number of the stars;
herIsa. 40:26 gives to all of them their names.
5 sPs. 48:1 Great is our Lord, andtNah. 1:3 abundant in power;
uIsa. 40:28; [Job 5:9] his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The Lordv[Ps. 146:8, 9] lifts up the humble;1Or afflicted
he casts the wicked to the ground.

he preparesySee Job 5:10 rain for the earth;
he makeszPs. 104:14; Job 38:27 grass grow on the hills.
9 HeaPs. 104:27, 28 gives to the beasts their food,
and tobSee Job 38:41 the young ravens that cry.
10 His delight is not incPs. 33:17 the strength of the horse,
nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
11 but the LorddPs. 149:4 takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those whoePs. 33:18 hope in his steadfast love.

hehPs. 132:15 fills you with theiPs. 81:16; Deut. 32:14 finest of the wheat.
15 Hej[Ps. 148:8] sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
16 He giveskJob 37:6 snow like wool;
he scattersl[Job 38:29] hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his crystals ofmJob 37:10 ice like crumbs;
who can stand before hisnJob 37:9 cold?
18 Heover. 15; [Job 37:12]; See Ps. 33:9; 107:20 sends out his word, and melts them;
he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.

20 HeqDeut. 4:7; See Deut. 4:32-34 has not dealt thus with any other nation;
they do not know his rules.
