Psalms 147

1PraiseH1984 ye Jah! for it is goodH2896. SingH2167 psalms of our 1GodH430; for it is pleasantH5273: praiseH1984 is comely.2Jehovah doth buildH1129 up JerusalemH3389: he gathereth the outcasts of IsraelH3478.3He healeth the brokenH7665 in heartH3820, and bindeth up their wounds.4He counteth the numberH4557 of the starsH3556; he giveth namesH8034 to them all.5GreatH1419 is our LordH113, and of greatH1419 powerH3581: his understandingH8394 is infinite.6Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wickedH7563 to the earthH776.7SingH2167 unto Jehovah with thanksgivingH8426; singH2167 psalms upon the harpH3658 unto our 2GodH430:8Who covereth the heavensH8064 with cloudsH5645, who prepareth rainH4306 for the earthH776, who maketh grassH2682 to growH6779 upon the mountainsH2022;9Who giveth to the cattleH929 their foodH3899, to the youngH1121 ravensH6158 which cry.10He delighteth not in the strengthH1369 of the horseH5483, he taketh not pleasureH7521 in the legsH7785 of a manH376;11Jehovah taketh pleasureH7521 in those that fearH3373 him, in those that hopeH3176 in his loving-kindness.12Laud Jehovah, O JerusalemH3389; praiseH1984 thy 3GodH430, O ZionH6726.13For he hath strengthenedH2388 the barsH1280 of thy gatesH8179; he hath blessedH1288 thy children within thee;14He maketh peaceH7965 in thy bordersH1366; he satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheatH2406.15He sendeth forthH7971 his oracles to the earthH776: his wordH1697 runneth very swiftly.16He giveth snowH7950 like woolH6785, scattereth the hoar frost like ashesH665;17He casteth forth his iceH7140 like morsels: who can standH5975 before his cold?18He sendeth his wordH1697, and melteth them; he causeth his windH7307 to blow — the watersH4325 flowH5140.19He sheweth his wordH1697 unto JacobH3290, his statutesH2706 and his judgmentsH4941 unto IsraelH3478.20He hath not dealt thusH3651 with any nationH1471; and as for [his] judgmentsH4941, they have not knownH3045 them. Hallelujah!
