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

Tehillim (Psa) 147
147
1Halleluyah!
How good it is to sing praises to our God!
How sweet, how fitting to praise him!
2Adonai is rebuilding Yerushalayim,
gathering the dispersed of Isra’el.
3He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
4He determines how many stars there are
and calls them all by name.
5Our Lord is great, his power is vast,
his wisdom beyond all telling.
6Adonai sustains the humble
but brings the wicked down to the ground.
7Sing to Adonai with thanks,
sing praises on the lyre to our God.
8He veils the sky with clouds;
he provides the earth with rain;
he makes grass grow on the hills;
9he gives food to the animals,
even to the young ravens when they cry.
10He takes no delight in the strength of a horse,
no pleasure in a runner’s speed.
11Adonai takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who wait for his grace.
12Glorify Adonai, Yerushalayim!
Praise your God, Tziyon!
13For he strengthens the bars of your gates,
he blesses your children within you,
14he brings peace within your borders,
he gives you your fill of the finest wheat.
15He sends his word out over the earth,
his command runs swiftly.
16Thus he gives snow like wool,
scatters hoarfrost like ashes,
17sends crystals of ice like crumbs of bread —
who can withstand such cold?
18Then he sends his word out and melts them;
he makes the winds blow, and the water flows.
19He reveals his words to Ya‘akov,
his laws and rulings to Isra’el.
20He has not done this for other nations;
they do not know his rulings.
Halleluyah!
