PSALM 147
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord; for it is good
praise to our God to sing:
For it is pleasant, and to praise
it is a comely thing.
2God doth build up Jerusalem;
and he it is alone
That the dispers'd of Israel
doth gather into one.
3Those that are broken in their heart,
and grieved in their minds,
He healeth, and their painful wounds
he tenderly up-binds.
4He counts the number of the stars;
he names them ev'ry one.
5Great is our Lord, and of great pow'r;
his wisdom search can none.
6The Lord lifts up the meek; and casts
the wicked to the ground.
7Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks;
on harp his praises sound;
8Who covereth the heav'n with clouds,
who for the earth below
Prepareth rain, who maketh grass
upon the mountains grow.
9He gives the beast his food, he feeds
the ravens young that cry.
10His pleasure not in horses' strength,
nor in man's legs, doth lie.
11But in all those that do him fear
the Lord doth pleasure take;
In those that to his mercy do
by hope themselves betake.
12The Lord praise, O Jerusalem;
Sion, thy God confess:
13For thy gates' bars he maketh strong;
thy sons in thee doth bless.
14He in thy borders maketh peace;
with fine wheat filleth thee.
15He sends forth his command on earth,
his word runs speedily.
16Hoar-frost, like ashes, scatt'reth he;
like wool he snow doth give:
17Like morsels casteth forth his ice;
who in its cold can live?
18He sendeth forth his mighty word,
and melteth them again;
His wind he makes to blow,
and then the waters flow amain.
19The doctrine of his holy word
to Jacob he doth show;
His statutes and his judgments he
gives Israel to know.
20To any nation never he
such favour did afford;
For they his judgments have not known.
O do ye praise the Lord.

Psalms 147
147
1Praise you2f the Lord- Yah [Behold The Hand] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for [it is] good to sing praises unto our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely (attractive; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular); becoming).
2The Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] does build up Yerushalayim [Foundation Of Peace]: he gathers together the outcasts of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God].
3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by [their] names.
5Great [is] our Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth], and of great power: his understanding [is] infinite.
6The Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] lifts up the meek: he castes the wicked down to the ground.
7Sing unto the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]:
8Who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9He gives to the beast his food, [and] to the young ravens which cry.
10He delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11The Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12Praise the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], O Yerushalayim [Foundation Of Peace]; praise youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], O Tziyon [Parched Place].
13For he has strengthened the bars of youri gates; he has Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) youri children within youi.
14He makes peace [in] youri borders, [and] fills youi with the finest of the wheat.
15He send forth his commandment [upon] earth: his word runs very swiftly.
16He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17He castes forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18He send out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
19He shows his word unto Ya’akov [Heel of God], his statutes and his judgments unto Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God].
20He has not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his] judgments, they have not known them. Praise you2f the Lord- Yah [Behold The Hand] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
