147:1  Praise ye Jah! for it is good. Sing psalms of our God; for it is pleasant: praise is comely.

147:2  Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth the outcasts of Israel.

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

147:4  He counteth the number of the stars; he giveth names to them all.

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

147:6  Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth.

147:7  Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto our God:

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

147:9  Who giveth to the cattle their food, 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  Jehovah taketh pleasure in those that fear him, in those that hope in his loving-kindness.

147:12  Laud Jehovah, 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; he satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat.

147:15  He sendeth forth his oracles to the earth: his word runneth very swiftly.

147:16  He giveth snow like wool, 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 his word, and melteth them; he causeth his wind to blow -- the waters flow.

147:19  He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

147:20  He hath not dealt thus with any nation; and as for [his] judgments, they have not known them. Hallelujah!
