| 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
