Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

1 Praise Jehovah; for it is good to sing praise to our God; because praise is delightful and becoming.

2 Jehovah builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel.

3 He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their sorrows.

4 He appoints the number of the stars; He calls to them all by names.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

5 Our Lord is great and of great might; there is no limit to His understanding.

6 Jehovah relieves the meek; He throws the wicked down to the ground.

7 Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing praise on the lyre to our God,

8 who covers the heavens with clouds; who prepares rain for the earth; who makes grass to grow on the mountains.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

9 He gives the animals their food, to the young ravens that cry.

10 He takes no delight in the strength of the horse, nor any pleasure in the legs of a man.

11 Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear Him, those who hope in His mercy.

12 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.

13 For He has made strong the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons within you.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

14 He sets up peace in your border, He satisfies you with the fat of the wheat.

15 He sends His command out on the earth; His Word runs very swiftly;

16 He gives snow like wool; He scatters the white frost like ashes;

17 He casts out His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold?

18 He sends out His Word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

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

20 He has not done so with any nation; and they have not known His judgments. Praise Jehovah!
