Noyes - Psalms - 147

147:1  Praise ye the LORD! For it is good to sing praise to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is becoming.

147:2  The LORD buildeth up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel.

147:3  He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.

147:4  He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.

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

147:6  The LORD lifteth up the lowly; He casteth the wicked down to the ground.

147:7  Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp to our God!

147:8  Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who causeth grass to grow upon the mountains.

147:9  He giveth to the cattle their food. And to the young ravens, when they cry.

147:10  He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

147:11  The LORD taketh pleasure in those who fear him, In those who trust in his mercy.

147:12  Praise the LORD. O Jerusalem! Praise thy God, O Zion!

147:13  For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.

147:14  He maketh peace in thy borders, And satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat.

147:15  He sendeth forth his command to the earth; His word runneth very swiftly.

147:16  He giveth snow like wool, And scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

147:17  He casteth forth his ice like morsels; Who can stand before his cold?

147:18  He sendeth forth his word, and melteth them; He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

147:19  He publisheth his word to Jacob, His statutes and laws to Israel.

147:20  He hath dealt in this manner with no other nation; And, as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD!
