Psalm 147

Praise for Jerusalem’s Restoration and Prosperity.

1Praise the Lord!

For it is good to sing praises to our God;

For it is pleasant and praise is beautiful.

2The Lord builds up Jerusalem;

He gathers the outcasts of Israel.

3He heals the brokenhearted

And binds up their wounds.

4He counts the number of the stars;

He gives names to all of them.

5Great is our Lord and abundant in strength;

His understanding is infinite.

6The Lord supports the afflicted;

He brings the wicked down to the ground.

7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;

Sing praises to our God on the lyre;

8It is He who covers the heavens with clouds,

Who provides rain for the earth,

Who makes grass sprout on the mountains.

9It is He who gives an animal its food,

And feeds young ravens that cry.

10He does not delight in the strength of the horse;

He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.

11The Lord favors those who fear Him,

Those who wait for His faithfulness.
