MKJV - Psalms - 147

147:1  Praise the LORD; for it is good to sing praises to our God; for praise is delightful and becoming.

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

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

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

147:5  Great is our LORD, and of great power; There is no limit to His understanding.

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

147:7  Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise on the harp 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 beasts its 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 mercy.

147:12  Praise 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 sons within you.

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

147:15  He sends forth His commandment on 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 shows 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 the LORD!
