LEB - Psalms - 147

147:1  Praise Yah. For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant; praise is fitting.

147:2  Yahweh is building Jerusalem; he gathers the scattered ones of Israel.

147:3  He is the one who heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.

147:4  He counts the number of the stars; he gives names to all of them.

147:5  Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is unlimited.

147:6  Yahweh helps the afflicted up; he brings the wicked down to the ground.

147:7  Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving; sing praises to our God with lyre,

147:8  who covers the heavens with clouds, who provides rain for the earth, who causes grass to grow on the mountains.

147:9  He gives to the animal its food, and to the young ravens that cry.

147:10  He does not delight in the strength of the horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of the man.

147:11  Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, the ones who hope for his loyal love.

147:12  Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion,

147:13  for he strengthens the bars of your gates. He blesses your children within you;

147:14  he makes your border peaceful; he satisfies you with the ⌞finest of wheat⌟.

147:15  He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.

147:16  He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes;

147:17  he throws his hail like crumbs. Who can stand before his cold?

147:18  He sends out his word and melts them; he blows his breath, the water flows.

147:19  He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

147:20  He has not done so for any nation, and they do not know his ordinances. Praise Yah.
