PS-147:1 Praise ye the LORD: for [it is] good to sing praises

unto our God;

for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.

PS-147:2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together

the outcasts

of Israel.

PS-147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their

wounds.

PS-147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all

by [their]

names.

PS-147:5 Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his

understanding [is]

infinite.

PS-147:6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked

down to the

ground.

PS-147:7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon

the harp unto

our God:

PS-147:8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain

for the

earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

PS-147:9 He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young

ravens which cry.

PS-147:10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he

taketh not

pleasure in the legs of a man.

PS-147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in

those that hope

in his mercy.

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

PS-147:13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he

hath blessed thy

children within thee.

PS-147:14 He maketh peace [in] thy borders, [and] filleth thee

with the finest

of the wheat.

PS-147:15 He sendeth forth his commandment [upon] earth: his

word runneth very

swiftly.

PS-147:16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost

like ashes.

PS-147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand

before his

cold?

PS-147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth

his wind to

blow, [and] the waters flow.

PS-147:19 He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his

judgments unto

Israel.

PS-147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his]

judgments,

they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
