Psalms 147:1-20
[1] Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. [2] The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. [3] He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. [4] He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. [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. [11] The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. [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. |

Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; |
