Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

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

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

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

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

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

5 Great is our LORD, and of great power; There is no limit to His understanding.

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

7 Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing praise on the harp 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 beasts their food, and to the young ravens which cry.

10 He delights not in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

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

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

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

Psalms Chapter[BR] 147

14 He makes peace in your borders and fills you with the finest of the wheat.

15 He sends forth His Commandment on earth; His Word runs very swiftly.

16 He gives snow like wool; He scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.

17 He casts forth 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 shows His Word to Jacob, His Precepts and His judgments to Israel.

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