LITV - Psalms - 147

147:1  Praise Jehovah; for it is good to sing praise to our God; because praise is delightful and becoming.

147:2  Jehovah builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel.

147:3  He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their sorrows.

147:4  He appoints the number of the stars; He calls to them all by names.

147:5  Our Lord is great and of great might; there is no limit to His understanding.

147:6  Jehovah relieves the meek; He throws the wicked down to the ground.

147:7  Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing praise on the lyre to our God,

147:8  who covers the heavens with clouds; who prepares rain for the earth; who makes grass to grow on the mountains.

147:9  He gives the animals their food, to the young ravens that cry.

147:10  He takes no delight in the strength of the horse, nor any pleasure in the legs of a man.

147:11  Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear Him, those who hope in His mercy.

147:12  Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.

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

147:14  He makes peace in your border, He satisfies you with the fat of the wheat.

147:15  He sends His command out on the earth; His word runs very swiftly;

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

147:17  He casts out 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 to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

147:20  He has not done so with any nation; and they have not known His judgments. Praise Jehovah!
