147:5 Our Lord is great and very powerful. There is no limit to what he knows.
147:6 The Lord defends the humble, but he throws the wicked to the ground.
147:7 Sing praises to the Lord; praise our God with harps.
147:8 He fills the sky with clouds and sends rain to the earth and makes grass grow on the hills.
147:9 He gives food to cattle and to the little birds that call.
147:10 He is not impressed with the strength of a horse or with human might.
147:11 The Lord is pleased with those who respect him, with those who trust his love.
147:12 Jerusalem, praise the Lord; Jerusalem, praise your God.
147:13 He makes your city gates strong and blesses your children inside.
147:14 He brings peace to your country and fills you with the finest grain.
147:15 He gives a command to the earth, and it quickly obeys him.
147:16 He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
147:17 He throws down hail like rocks. No one can stand the cold he sends.
147:18 Then he gives a command, and it melts. He sends the breezes, and the waters flow.
147:19 He gave his word to Jacob, his laws and demands to Israel.
147:20 He didn’t do this for any other nation. They don’t know his laws. Praise the Lord!
