147:1  Praise ye the Lord! For it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
147:2  The Lord doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
147:3  He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
147:4  He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.
147:5  Great is our Lord, and of great power; His understanding is infinite.
147:6  The Lord lifteth up the meek; He casteth the wicked down to the ground.
147:7  Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God,
147:8  who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
147:9  He giveth to the beast his food and to the young ravens which cry.
147:10  He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:11  The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His mercy.
147:12  Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise thy God, O Zion!
147:13  For He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.
147:14  He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
147:15  He sendeth forth His commandment upon the earth; His word runneth very swiftly.
147:16  He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes;
147:17  He casteth forth His ice like morsels; who can stand before His cold?
147:18  He sendeth out His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
147:19  He showeth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel.
147:20  He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord!
