He (A)counts the number of the stars;
He [a](B)gives names to all of them.
(C)Great is our Lord and abundant in strength;
His (D)understanding is [b]infinite.
The Lord [c](E)supports the afflicted;
He brings the wicked down to the ground.

Sing praises to our God on the lyre;
It is He who (G)covers the heavens with clouds,
Who (H)provides rain for the earth,
Who (I)makes grass sprout on the mountains.
