# Chapter 147
|
|
1 Praise the Lord!
|
|
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
|
|
For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.
|
|
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
|
|
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
|
|
3 He heals the brokenhearted
|
|
And binds up their wounds.
|
|
4 He counts the number of the stars;
|
|
He calls them all by name.
|
|
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
|
|
His understanding is infinite.
|
|
6 The Lord lifts up the humble;
|
|
He casts the wicked down to the ground.
|
|
7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
|
|
Sing praises on the harp to our God,
|
|
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds,
|
|
Who prepares rain for the earth,
|
|
Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
|
|
9 He gives to the beast its food,
|
|
And to the young ravens that cry.
|
|
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse;
|
|
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
|
|
11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
|
|
In those who hope in His mercy.
|
|
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
|
|
Praise your God, O Zion!
|
|
13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
|
|
He has blessed your children within you.
|
|
14 He makes peace in your borders,
|
|
And fills you with the finest wheat.
|
|
15 He sends out His command to the earth;
|
|
His word runs very swiftly.
|
|
16 He gives snow like wool;
|
|
He scatters the frost like ashes;
|
|
17 He casts out His hail like morsels;
|
|
Who can stand before His cold?
|
|
18 He sends out His word and melts them;
|
|
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
|
|
19 He declares His word to Jacob,
|
|
His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
|
|
20 He has not dealt thus with any nation;
|
|
And as for His judgments, they have not known them.
|
|
Praise the Lord! |
