How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! 147:2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 147:4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. 147:5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. 147:6 The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground. 147:7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp. 147:8 He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. 147:9 He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call. 147:10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; 147:11 the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. 147:12 Extol the Lord , O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion, 147:13 for he strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you. 147:14 He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat. 147:15 He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. 147:16 He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. 147:17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast? 147:18 He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow. 147:19 He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel. 147:20 He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the Lord.
