Psalms 147
- 1Praise the Lord. For it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasant. Praise is beautiful.
- 2The Lord does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
- 3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
- 4He counts the stars, he calls them all by their names.
- 5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
- 6The Lord lifts up the humble: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
- 7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving, sing praise on the harp to our God:
- 8Who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
- 9He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
- 10He does not delight in the strength of the horse: he does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
- 11The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
- 12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem, praise your God, O Zion.
- 13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
- 14He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
- 15He sends out his commandment on earth: his word runs very swiftly.
- 16He gives snow like wool: he scatters the frost like ashes.
- 17He casts out his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
- 18He sends out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
- 19He shows his word to Jacob, his laws and his judgments to Israel.
- 20He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise the Lord.
