The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 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.
