Psalms 147:1-11
11Praise 2the Lord! For 3it is good to sing praises to our God; For 4it is pleasant and praise is 56beautiful.2The Lord 7builds up Jerusalem; He 8gathers the outcasts of Israel.3He heals the 9brokenhearted And 10binds up their 11wounds.4He 12counts the number of the stars; He 1314gives names to all of them.515Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His 16understanding is 17infinite.6The Lord 1819supports the afflicted; He brings the wicked down to the ground.
720Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre;8It is He who 21covers the heavens with clouds, Who 22provides rain for the earth, Who 23makes grass sprout on the mountains.9It is He who 24gives an animal its food, And feeds 25young ravens that cry.10He does not delight in 26the strength of the 27horse; He 28does not take pleasure in the 29legs of a man.11The Lord 30favors those who fear Him, 31Those who wait for His 32faithfulness.
