←Prev   Psalms 147 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


147:1  Praise the Lord! It is good to sing praise to our God; it is pleasant and right to praise him.
147:2  The Lord is restoring Jerusalem; he is bringing back the exiles.
147:3  He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.
147:4  He has decided the number of the stars and calls each one by name.
147:5  Great and mighty is our Lord; his wisdom cannot be measured.
147:6  He raises the humble, but crushes the wicked to the ground.
147:7  Sing hymns of praise to the Lord; play music on the harp to our God.
147:8  He spreads clouds over the sky; he provides rain for the earth and makes grass grow on the hills.
147:9  He gives animals their food and feeds the young ravens when they call.
147:10  His pleasure is not in strong horses, nor his delight in brave soldiers;
147:11  but he takes pleasure in those who honor him, in those who trust in his constant love.
147:12  Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
147:13  He keeps your gates strong; he blesses your people.
147:14  He keeps your borders safe and satisfies you with the finest wheat.
147:15  He gives a command to the earth, and what he says is quickly done.
147:16  He spreads snow like a blanket and scatters frost like dust.
147:17  He sends hail like gravel; no one can endure the cold he sends!
147:18  Then he gives a command, and the ice melts; he sends the wind, and the water flows.
147:19  He gives his message to his people, his instructions and laws to Israel.
147:20  He has not done this for other nations; they do not know his laws. Praise the Lord!
