One: Sing praises to God,
All: for God gathers the outcasts of Israel.
One: God heals the brokenhearted
All: and binds up their wounds.
One: And through Jesus, God cures the sick
All: and casts out demons.
One: God lifts up the downtrodden
All: and covers the heavens with clouds, preparing rain for the earth.
One: Praise be to God!
All: Make a melody to our God on the lyre.
All: Let us join our hearts in worship.
From Mark 1:29-39
