Psalms Chapter 147 (ESV)
undefined
Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.
undefined
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
undefined
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
undefined
He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.
undefined
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.
undefined
The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground.
undefined
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre!
undefined
He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills.
undefined
He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry.
undefined
His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
undefined
but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
undefined
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
undefined
For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you.
undefined
He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat.
undefined
He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
undefined
He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes.
undefined
He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold?
undefined
He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.
undefined
He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules to Israel.
undefined
He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules. Praise the LORD!
