The LORD our God builds up his church, finds those who draw apart; he binds their wounds and gently leads, he heals the broken heart. 2 Our Lord is great: he calls by name and counts the stars of night; his wisdom is unsearchable, and wondrous is his might. The LORD upholds the poor and meek but brings the wicked low; sing praise to him who sends the rain, whose care the cattle know. 3 No human might, no earthly pride delights the LORD above; in those who fear him he delights, in those who trust his love. O Zion, praise the LORD your God, his wondrous love confess; he is your glory and your strength, he will your children bless.
