Psalm 147 (NASB)

147^:1 Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is becoming. ² The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel. ³ He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. ⁴ He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. ⁵ Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. ⁶ The LORD supports the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground.

⁷ Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre, ⁸ Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains. ⁹ He gives to the beast its food, And to the young ravens which cry. ¹⁰ He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man. ¹¹ The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

¹² Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! ¹³ For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons within you. ¹⁴ He makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat. ¹⁵ He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. ¹⁶ He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes. ¹⁷ He casts forth His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold? ¹⁸ He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow. ¹⁹ He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. ²⁰ He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Praise the LORD!
