'For it is good to sing praises unto our God.' Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. The same hands hold both scales: 'He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He counteth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.' He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: 'Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his lovingkindness.' He giveth snow like wool, scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes; 'he sendeth out his word, and melteth them.' He showeth his word unto Jacob: 'he hath not dealt so with any nation.'
