Comfort from Divine Awe Found in Nature

(1) Hallelujah.
It is good to chant hymns to our God;
it is pleasant to sing glorious praise. (2) The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem;
God gathers in the exiles of Israel. (3) God heals their broken hearts,
and binds up their wounds. (4) God reckoned the number of the stars;
to each God gave its name. (5) Great is our Lord and full of power;
God's wisdom is beyond reckoning. (6) The LORD gives courage to the lowly,
and brings the wicked down to the dust.
(7) Sing to the LORD a song of praise,
chant a hymn with a lyre to our God, (8) who covers the heavens with clouds,
provides rain for the earth,
makes mountains put forth grass; (9) who gives the beasts their food,
to the raven’s brood what they cry for. (10) God does not prize the strength of horses,
nor value the fleetness of men; (11) but the LORD values those who fear God,
those who depend on God's faithful care.
