147:1 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.
147:2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
147:3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
147:4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.
147:5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
147:6 The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.
147:7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God,
147:8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
147:9 He gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens that cry.
147:10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy.
147:12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
147:13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you.
147:14 He makes peace in your borders, And fills you with the finest wheat.
147:15 He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
147:16 He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
147:17 He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold?
147:18 He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
147:19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
147:20 He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise the Lord!
