Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

1 Hallelujah! How good it is to sing to our God, for praise is pleasant and lovely.

2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers Israel's exiled people.

3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

4 He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.

5 Our Lord is great, vast in power; His understanding is infinite.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

6 The LORD helps the afflicted but brings the wicked to the ground.

7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; play the lyre to our God,

8 who covers the sky with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, and causes grass to grow on the hills.

9 He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens, what they cry for.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

10 He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; He does not value the power of a man.

11 The LORD values those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His faithful love.

12 Exalt the LORD, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion!

13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your children within you.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

14 He endows your territory with prosperity; He satisfies you with the finest wheat.

15 He sends His command throughout the earth; His word runs swiftly.

16 He spreads snow like wool; He scatters frost like ashes;

17 He throws His hailstones like crumbs. Who can withstand His cold?

18 He sends His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.

20 He has not done this for any nation; they do not know *His judgments. Hallelujah!
