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 giveth them all their names.
5. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; his understanding is infinite.
6. The Lord upholdeth the meek: he bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
