Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

Praise for Jerusalem’s restoration and prosperity.

⁶The LORD lifts up the downtrodden, he casts the wicked to the ground.

⁷Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God upon the lyre!

⁸He covers the heavens with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, he makes grass grow upon the hills.

⁹He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens which cry.

¹⁰His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man;

¹¹but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
