Psalms.
|
||
Chapter 147.
|
||
Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
|
||
The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
|
||
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
|
||
He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
|
||
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
|
||
The LORD upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
|
||
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
|
||
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
|
||
He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
|
||
He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
|
||
The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
|
||
Praise the LORD, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
|
||
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
|
||
He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
|
||
He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
|
||
He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
|
||
He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
|
||
He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
|
||
He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
|
||
He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise the LORD!
