| Chapter 147 |
1 |
Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely. |
2 |
Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. |
3 |
He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds. |
4 |
He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. |
5 |
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. |
6 |
Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground. |
7 |
Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God, |
8 |
Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. |
9 |
He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry. |
10 |
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. |
11 |
Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness. |
12 |
Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion. |
13 |
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. |
14 |
He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. |
15 |
He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly. |
16 |
He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. |
17 |
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold? |
18 |
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. |
19 |
He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel. |
20 |
He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 148 |
