147:1  Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God! How pleasant and right it is to praise him!
147:2  The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He gathers the scattered people of Israel.
147:3  He heals those who have broken hearts. He takes care of their wounds.
147:4  He decides how many stars there should be. He gives each one of them a name.
147:5  Great is our Lord. His power is mighty. There is no limit to his understanding.
147:6  The Lord gives strength to those who aren’t proud. But he throws evil people down to the ground.
147:7  Sing to the Lord and give him grateful praise. Make music to our God on the harp.
147:8  He covers the sky with clouds. He supplies the earth with rain. He makes grass grow on the hills.
147:9  He provides food for the cattle. He provides for the young ravens when they cry out.
147:10  He doesn’t take pleasure in the strength of horses. He doesn’t take delight in the strong legs of warriors.
147:11  The Lord takes delight in those who have respect for him. They put their hope in his faithful love.
147:12  Jerusalem, praise the Lord. Zion, praise your God.
147:13  He makes the metal bars of your gates stronger. He blesses the people who live inside you.
147:14  He keeps your borders safe and secure. He satisfies you with the finest wheat.
147:15  He sends his command to the earth. His word arrives there quickly.
147:16  He spreads the snow like wool. He scatters the frost like ashes.
147:17  He throws down his hail like pebbles. No one can stand his icy blast.
147:18  He gives his command, and the ice melts. He stirs up his winds, and the waters flow.
147:19  He has made his word known to the people of Jacob. He has made his laws and rules known to Israel.
147:20  He hasn’t done that for any other nation. They don’t know his laws. Praise the Lord.
