AFV2020 - Psalms - 147

147:1  O praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God, for praise is pleasant and becoming.

147:2  The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

147:3  He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

147:4  He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names.

147:5  Great is our LORD and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

147:6  The LORD lifts up the meek; He casts the wicked down to the ground.

147:7  Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praises upon the lyres unto our God,

147:8  Who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.

147:9  He gives the beasts their food and to the young ravens which cry.

147:10  He delights not in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

147:11  The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, who hope in His steadfast love.

147:12  Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion,

147:13  For He has made the bars of your gates strong; He has blessed your children within you.

147:14  He makes peace within your borders and fills you with the finest of the wheat.

147:15  He sends forth His commandment upon earth; His word runs very swiftly.

147:16  He gives snow like wool; He scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.

147:17  He casts forth His ice like crumbs. Who can stand before His cold?

147:18  He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

147:19  He declares His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.

147:20  He has not done so with any other nation; and as for his ordinances, they have not known them. O praise the LORD!
