Psalms 147
1. Praise * ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises * unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2. The LORD doth build up * Jerusalem: he gathereth together * the outcasts * of Israel.
3. He healeth * the broken * in heart, and bindeth up * their wounds.
4. He telleth * the number of the stars; he calleth * them all by their names.
5. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6. The LORD lifteth up * the meek:he casteth * the wicked down * to the ground.
7. Sing * unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise * upon the harp unto our God:
8. Who covereth * the heaven with clouds, who prepareth * rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow * upon the mountains.
9. He giveth * to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry * .
10. He delighteth * not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure * in the legs of a man.
11. The LORD taketh pleasure * in them that fear him, in those that hope * in his mercy.
12. Praise * the LORD, O Jerusalem;praise * thy God, O Zion.
13. For he hath strengthened * the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed * thy children within thee.
14. He maketh * peace in thy borders, and filleth * thee with the finest of the wheat.
15. He sendeth forth * his commandment upon earth: his word runneth * very swiftly.
16. He giveth * snow like wool: he scattereth * the hoarfrost like ashes.
17. He casteth forth * his ice like morsels: who can stand * before his cold?
18. He sendeth out * his word, and melteth * them: he causeth his wind to blow * , and the waters flow * .
19. He sheweth * his word * unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20. He hath not dealt * so with any nation:and as for his judgments, they have not known * them. Praise * ye the LORD.
