Psalms 147:1-11
11Praise 2the Lord! For 3it is good to sing praises to our God; For 4it is pleasant and praise is 5becoming.2The Lord 6builds up Jerusalem; He 7gathers the outcasts of Israel.3He heals the 8brokenhearted And 9binds up their 10wounds.4He 11counts the number of the stars; He 1213gives names to all of them.514Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His 15understanding is 16infinite.6The Lord 1718supports the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground.
719Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre,8Who 20covers the heavens with clouds, Who 21provides rain for the earth, Who 22makes grass to 23grow on the mountains.9He 24gives to the beast its food, And to the 25young ravens which cry.10He does not delight in the strength of the 26horse; He 27does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.11The Lord 28favors those who fear Him, 29Those who wait for His lovingkindness.
