147:1  Praise the Lord because he is good. Sing praises to our God. It is good and pleasant to praise him.
147:2  The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem. He brings back the Israelites who were taken as prisoners.
147:3  He heals their broken hearts and bandages their wounds.
147:4  He counts the stars and knows each of them by name.
147:5  Our Lord is great and powerful. There is no limit to what he knows.
147:6  The Lord supports the humble, but he shames the wicked.
147:7  Give thanks to the Lord. Praise our God with harps.
147:8  He fills the sky with clouds. He sends rain to the earth. He makes the grass grow on the mountains.
147:9  He gives food to the animals. He feeds the young birds that cry out.
147:10  War horses and powerful soldiers are not what he cares about.
147:11  The Lord enjoys people who worship him and trust in his faithful love.
147:12  Jerusalem, praise the Lord! Zion, praise your God!
147:13  He makes your gates strong, and he blesses the people in your city.
147:14  He brought peace to your country, so you have plenty of grain for food.
147:15  He gives a command to the earth, and it quickly obeys.
147:16  He makes the snow fall until the ground is as white as wool. He makes sleet blow through the air like dust.
147:17  He makes hail fall like rocks from the sky. No one can stand the cold he sends.
147:18  Then he gives another command, and warm air begins to blow. The ice melts, and water begins to flow.
147:19  He gave his commands to Jacob. He gave his laws and rules to Israel.
147:20  He did not do this for any other nation. He did not teach his laws to other people. Praise the Lord!
