147:1  Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
147:2  The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.
147:3  He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.
147:4  He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
147:5  Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
147:6  The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
147:7  Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp.
147:8  He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.
147:9  He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.
147:10  His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
147:11  the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
147:12  Extol the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion.
147:13  He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you.
147:14  He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
147:15  He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
147:16  He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
147:17  He hurls down hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?
147:18  He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
147:19  He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel.
147:20  He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the Lord.
