Psalm 147God Restores Jerusalem
|
|
|
|
1. Hallelujah!
|
|
How good it is to sing to our God,
|
|
for praise is pleasant and lovely.
|
|
|
|
2. The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem;
|
|
he gathers Israel's exiled people.
|
|
|
|
3. He heals the brokenhearted
|
|
and bandages their wounds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. He counts the number of the stars;
|
|
he gives names to all of them.
|
|
|
|
5. Our Lord is great, vast in power;
|
|
his understanding is infinite.
|
|
|
|
6. The Lord helps the oppressed
|
|
but brings the wicked to the ground.
|
|
|
|
7. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
|
|
play the lyre to our God,
|
|
|
|
8. who covers the sky with clouds,
|
|
prepares rain for the earth,
|
|
and causes grass to grow on the hills.
|
|
|
|
9. He provides the animals with their food,
|
|
and the young ravens what they cry for.
|
|
|
|
10. He is not impressed by the strength of a horse;
|
|
he does not value the power of a warrior.
|
|
|
|
11. The Lord values those who fear him,
|
|
those who put their hope in his faithful love.
|
|
|
|
12. Exalt the Lord, Jerusalem;
|
|
praise your God, Zion!
|
|
|
|
13. For he strengthens the bars of your city gates
|
|
and blesses your children within you.
|
|
|
|
14. He endows your territory with prosperity;
|
|
he satisfies you with the finest wheat.
|
|
|
|
15. He sends his command throughout the earth;
|
|
his word runs swiftly.
|
|
|
|
16. He spreads snow like wool;
|
|
he scatters frost like ashes;
|
|
|
|
17. he throws his hailstones like crumbs.
|
|
Who can withstand his cold?
|
|
|
|
18. He sends his word and melts them;
|
|
he unleashes his winds, and the water flows.
|
|
|
|
19. He declares his word to Jacob,
|
|
his statutes and judgments to Israel.
|
|
|
|
20. He has not done this for every nation;
|
|
they do not know his judgments.
|
|
Hallelujah!
