Psalms Chapter 147

147 : 1 Praise ye Jehovah, for it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

147 : 2 Jehovah builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

147 : 3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

147 : 4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by names.

147 : 5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

147 : 6 Jehovah upholds the meek. He brings the wicked down to the ground.

147 : 7 Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God,

147 : 8 who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.

147 : 9 He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

147 : 10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

147 : 11 Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

147 : 12 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem. Praise thy God, O Zion.

147 : 13 For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates. He has blessed thy sons within thee.

147 : 14 He makes peace in thy borders. He fills thee with the finest of the wheat.

147 : 15 He sends out his commandment upon earth. His word runs very swiftly.

147 : 16 He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.

147 : 17 He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold?

147 : 18 He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

147 : 19 He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

147 : 20 He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
