Psalm 147
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Praise the LORD!
|
|
How good to sing praises to our God!
|
|
|
|
How delightful and how fitting!
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The LORD is rebuilding Jerusalem
|
|
|
|
and bringing the exiles back to Israel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. He heals the brokenhearted
|
|
|
|
and bandages their wounds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. He counts the stars
|
|
|
|
and calls them all by name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute!
|
|
|
|
His understanding is beyond comprehension!
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. The LORD supports the humble,
|
|
|
|
but he brings the wicked down into the dust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Sing out your thanks to the LORD;
|
|
|
|
sing praises to our God with a harp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. He covers the heavens with clouds,
|
|
|
|
provides rain for the earth,
|
|
|
|
and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. He gives food to the wild animals
|
|
|
|
and feeds the young ravens when they cry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse
|
|
|
|
or in human might.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. No, the LORD's delight is in those who fear him,
|
|
|
|
those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem!
|
|
|
|
Praise your God, O Zion!
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. For he has strengthened the bars of your gates
|
|
|
|
and blessed your children within your walls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. He sends peace across your nation
|
|
|
|
and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. He sends his orders to the world--
|
|
|
|
how swiftly his word flies!
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. He sends the snow like white wool;
|
|
|
|
he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. He hurls the hail like stones.
|
|
|
|
Who can stand against his freezing cold?
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. Then, at his command, it all melts.
|
|
|
|
He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. He has revealed his words to Jacob,
|
|
|
|
his decrees and regulations to Israel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. He has not done this for any other nation;
|
|
|
|
they do not know his regulations.
|
|
Praise the LORD!
