Psalm 147
1¶ Halelu-JAH: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for praise is pleasant and beautiful.
2The Lord, he who builds up Jerusalem; shall gather together the outcasts of Israel.
3He heals the broken hearted, and he binds up their wounds.
4He counts the number of the stars and calls them all by their names.
5Great is our Lord and of great power; his intelligence is infinite.
6The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked down to the earth.
7Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8Who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares the rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
9He who gives the beast his food and to the sons of the ravens which cry unto him.
10He does not delight in the strength of the horse; nor does he take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11The Lord takes pleasure in those that fear him, in those that wait upon his mercy.
12¶ Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy sons within thee.
14He who makes peace to be thy borders shall fill thee with the finest of the wheat.
15He sends forth his word upon earth; his word runs very swiftly.
16He who gives snow like wool scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17He casts forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold?
18He shall send forth his word and melt them; his wind shall blow, and the waters shall flow.
19He declares his words unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20He has not dealt so with the other nations, which have not known his judgments. Halelu-JAH.

Psalm 147
1Hallelujah!
It is good to sing psalms to our God.
It is pleasant to sing ⌞his⌟ praise beautifully.
2The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem.
He is the one who gathers the outcasts of Israel together.
3He is the healer of the brokenhearted.
He is the one who bandages their wounds.
4He determines the number of stars.
He gives each one a name.
5Our Lord is great, and his power is great.
There is no limit to his understanding.
6The Lord gives relief to those who are oppressed.
He brings wicked people down to the ground.
7Sing to the Lord a song of thanksgiving.
Make music to our God with a lyre.
8He covers the sky with clouds.
He provides rain for the ground.
He makes grass grow on the mountains.
9He is the one who gives food to animals
and to young ravens when they call out.
10He finds no joy in strong horses,
nor is he pleased by brave soldiers.
11The Lord is pleased with those who fear him,
with those who wait with hope for his mercy.
12Praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Praise your God, Zion!
13He makes the bars across your gates strong.
He blesses the children within you.
14He is the one who brings peace to your borders
and satisfies your ⌞hunger⌟ with the finest wheat.
15He is the one who sends his promise throughout the earth.
His word travels with great speed.
16He is the one who sends snow like wool
and scatters frost like ashes.
17He is the one who throws his hailstones like breadcrumbs.
Who can withstand his chilling blast?
18He sends out his word and melts his hailstones.
He makes wind blow ⌞and⌟ water flow.
19He speaks his word to Jacob,
his laws and judicial decisions to Israel.
20He has done nothing like this for any other nation.
The other nations do not know the decisions he has handed down.
Hallelujah!
