Psalms

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