147:1 Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is becoming.
147:2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel.
147:3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
147:4 He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.
147:5 Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.
147:6 The LORD supports the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground.
147:7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre,
147:8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
147:9 He gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens which cry.
147:10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:11 The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His lovingkindness.
147:12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
147:13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons within you.
147:14 He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat.
147:15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
147:16 He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.
147:17 He casts forth His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold?
147:18 He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.
147:19 He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel.
147:20 He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Praise the LORD!
