Psalms 147

1. ¹Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
2. ²The LORD doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel;
3. ³Who healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4. ⁴He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names.
5. ⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
6. ⁶The LORD upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
7. ⁷Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
8. ⁸Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.
9. ⁹He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10. ¹⁰He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11. ¹¹The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that wait for His mercy.
12. ¹²Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13. ¹³For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.
14. ¹⁴He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.
15. ¹⁵He sendeth out His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.
16. ¹⁶He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
17. ¹⁷He casteth forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold?
18. ¹⁸He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19. ¹⁹He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.
20. ²⁰He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Hallelujah.
