Psalms 147

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.

⁷¶Sing 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.

¹²¶Praise the Lord, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!

¹³For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons among you.

¹⁴He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat.

¹⁵He sends His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.

¹⁶He showers snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.

¹⁷He hurls His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold?

¹⁸He sends His word and makes them melt; He makes His wind blow, and the waters flow.

¹⁹He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

²⁰He has not dealt this way with any other nation; And as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise the Lord!
