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 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 gives names to all of them.
147:5  Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.
147:6  The Lord supports the afflicted; He brings the wicked down to the ground.
147:7  Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre;
147:8  It is He who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass sprout on the mountains.
147:9  It is He who gives an animal its food, And feeds young ravens that cry.
147:10  He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:11  The Lord favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His faithfulness.
147:12  Praise the Lord, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
147:13  For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons among you.
147:14  He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat.
147:15  He sends His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
147:16  He showers snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.
147:17  He hurls His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold?
147:18  He sends His word and makes them melt; He makes His wind blow, and the waters flow.
147:19  He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
147:20  He has not dealt this way with any other nation; And as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise the Lord!
