147:1  Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasing and praise is right.
147:2  The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He gathers those of Israel who had been taken away.
147:3  He heals those who have a broken heart. He heals their sorrows.
147:4  He knows the number of the stars. He gives names to all of them.
147:5  Great is our Lord, and great in power. His understanding has no end.
147:6  The Lord lifts up those who are suffering, and He brings the sinful down to the ground.
147:7  Sing to the Lord with thanks. Sing praises to our God on the harp.

147:9  He gives food to the animals, and to the young ravens that cry.
147:10  His joy is not in the strength of a horse. He does not find joy in the legs of a man.

147:15  He sends His Word to the earth. And His Word runs fast.
147:16  He gives snow like wool. He spreads ice like ashes.
147:17  He throws down His ice as hail stones. Who can stand before His cold?
147:18  He sends out His Word and melts them. He makes His wind blow and the waters flow.
147:19  He speaks His Word to Jacob, and His Law to Israel.
147:20  He has not done this with any other nation. They do not know His Law. Praise the Lord!
