Psalms 147

Praise for Jerusalem’s restoration and prosperity.

¹Praise Yah, For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

²Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

³He heals the broken in heart, And binds up their wounds.

⁴He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

⁶Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.

⁷Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,

⁸Who covers the sky with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass grow on the mountains.

⁹He provides food for the cattle, And for the young ravens when they call.

¹⁰He doesn`t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹¹Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, In those who hope in his lovingkindness.

¹²Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!

¹³For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.

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

¹⁵He sends out his commandment on earth. His word runs very swiftly.

¹⁶He gives snow like wool, And scatters frost like ashes.

¹⁷He hurls down his hail like pebbles. 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; His statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

²⁰He has not done this for any nation; They don`t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!
