Psa 147:1

[fn]Praise Yah!

For it is good to sing praises to our God;

For [fn]it is pleasant and praise is becoming.

Psa 147:2

Yahweh builds up Jerusalem;

He gathers the [fn]outcasts of Israel.

Psa 147:3

He is the One who heals the brokenhearted

And who binds up their [fn]wounds,

Psa 147:4

Who counts the number of the stars;

He [fn]gives names to all of them.

Great is our Lord and abundant in power;

His discernment is [fn]infinite.

Yahweh [fn]helps up the afflicted;

He brings down the wicked to the ground.

Psa 147:7

Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;

Sing praises to our God on the lyre.

Psa 147:8

He is the One who covers the heavens with clouds,

The One who provides rain for the earth,

The One who makes grass to sprout on the mountains,

Psa 147:9

Who gives to the animal its food,

And to the young ravens which call out.

Psa 147:10

He does not delight in the might of the horse;

He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.

Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem!

Praise your God, O Zion!

He blessed your sons within you.

He is the One who sets [fn]peace in your borders,

He satisfies you with the [fn]finest of the wheat,

Psa 147:15

The One who sends forth His command to the earth;

His word runs very swiftly,

Psa 147:16

The One who gives snow like wool;

He scatters the frost like ashes,

Psa 147:17

Who casts forth His ice as fragments;

Who can stand before His cold?

Psa 147:18

He sends forth His word and melts them;

He causes His wind to blow and so the waters flow,

Psa 147:19

Who declares His words to Jacob,

His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

Psa 147:20

He has not done so with any nation;

So as for His judgments, they have not known them.

[fn]Praise Yah!
