147a. Praise Ye the LORD

1 Praise ye the LORD, for it is good
To sing unto our God;
'Tis right and pleasant for His saints
To tell His praise abroad
The LORD our God builds up His Church,
He seeks her wandering sons;
He binds their wounds and gently heals
The brokenhearted ones.

2 Our LORD is great, He calls by name
And counts the stars of night;
His wisdom is His might.
The LORD upholds the poor and meek,
He brings the wicked low;
Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks
And all His goodness show.

3 No human might, no earthly pride,
Delights the LORD above;
In them that fear Him He delights,
In them that trust His love.
O Zion, praise the LORD thy God,
His wonderous love confess;
He is thy glory and thy strength,
He will thy children bless.
