Psalms 147

1 The prophet exhorteth to praise God for his care of the Church, 4 his power, 6 and his mercy: 7 to praise him for his providence: 12 to praise him for his blessings upon the Kingdom, 15 for his power over the meteors, 19 and for his ordinances in the Church.

 147:1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD: for [it is] good to sing praises to our God; for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.

 147:2 The LORD buildeth up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by [their] names.

 147:5 Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his understanding [is] infinite.

 147:6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

 147:7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp to our God:

 147:8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

 147:9 He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young ravens which cry.

 147:10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

 147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

 147:12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

 147:13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.

 147:14 He maketh peace [in] thy borders, [and] filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

 147:15 He sendeth forth his commandment [upon] earth: his word runneth very swiftly.

 147:16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

 147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

 147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.

 147:19 He showeth his word to Jacob, his statutes and his judgments to Israel.

 147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his] judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
