Psalms 147
147
1Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises unto our God;
for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 He heals the broken in heart,
and binds up their wounds.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by their names.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Great is our Lord and great in power;
His understanding is without measure.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 The Lord lifts up the meek;
He casts the wicked down to the ground.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;
sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 who covers the heaven with clouds,
who provides rain for the earth,
who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 He gives food to the animals
and to the young ravens that chirp.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 He delights not in the strength of the horse,
nor does He take pleasure in the legs of a man,
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
in those who hope in His mercy.
12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion.
13For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your children within you.
14He makes peace in your borders,
and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15He sends forth His commandment on the earth;
His word goes out swiftly.
16He gives snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes;
17He casts forth His ice like morsels;
who can stand before His cold?
18He sends out His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow and the waters flow.
19He shows His word to Jacob,
and His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20He has not dealt so with any other nation;
they have not known His judgments.
Praise the Lord!
