He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their^dwounds.

He^egives names to all of them.

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre,

Who covers the heavens with clouds,
Who provides rain for the earth,
Who makes grass to^hgrow on the mountains.

He gives to the beast its food,
And to the young ravens which cry.

He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.

Those who wait for His lovingkindness.
