# Psalms 147

[1](#verse-1) Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

[2](#verse-2) The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

[3](#verse-3) He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

[4](#verse-4) He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

[5](#verse-5) Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

[6](#verse-6) The LORD upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.

[7](#verse-7) Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,

[8](#verse-8) who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.

[9](#verse-9) He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

[10](#verse-10) He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

[11](#verse-11) The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.

[12](#verse-12) Praise the LORD, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!

[13](#verse-13) For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.

[14](#verse-14) He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.

[15](#verse-15) He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.

[16](#verse-16) He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.

[17](#verse-17) He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?

[18](#verse-18) He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

[19](#verse-19) He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

[20](#verse-20) He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise the LORD!
