Psalm 147

Revised Version 1895

1PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050; for it is goodH2896 to singH2167 praisesH2167 unto our GodH430; for it is pleasantH5273, and praiseH1984 is comelyH5000.

2The LORDH3068 doth buildH1129 upH1129 JerusalemH3389; he gathereth together the outcasts of IsraelH3478.

3He healeth the brokenH7665 in heartH3820, and bindeth upH2280 their woundsH6094.

4He telleth the numberH4557 of the starsH3556; he giveth them allH3605 their namesH8034.

5GreatH1419 is our LordH113, and mightyH1419 in powerH3581; his understandingH8394 is infinite.

6The LORDH3068 upholdeth the meek: he bringeth the wickedH7563 downH8213 to the groundH776.

7SingH2167 unto the LORDH3068 with thanksgivingH8426; singH2167 praisesH2167 upon the harpH3658 unto our GodH430:

8Who covereth the heavenH8064 with cloudsH5645, who prepareth rainH4306 for the earthH776, who maketh grassH2682 to growH6779 upon the mountainsH2022.

9He giveth to the beastH929 his foodH3899, and to the youngH1121 ravensH6158 whichH834 cryH7121.

10He delighteth notH3808 in the strengthH1369 of the horseH5483: he taketh noH3808 pleasureH7521 in the legsH7785 of a manH376.

11The LORDH3068 taketh pleasureH7521 in them that fearH3373 him, in thoseH853 that hopeH3176 in his mercyH3068.

12PraiseH1984 the LORDH3068, O JerusalemH3389; praiseH1984 thy GodH430, O ZionH6726.

13For he hath strengthenedH2388 the barsH1280 of thy gatesH8179; he hath blessedH1288 thy childrenH1121 withinH7130 thee.

14He maketh peaceH7965 in thy bordersH1366; he filleth thee with the finestH2459 of the wheatH2406.

15He sendeth outH7971 his commandmentH1697 upon earthH776; his wordH1697 runneth veryH5704 swiftlyH4120.

16He giveth snowH7950 like woolH6785; he scattereth the hoar frost like ashesH665.

17He casteth forth his iceH7140 like morsels: who canH4310 standH5975 beforeH6440 his coldH7135?

18He sendeth outH7971 his wordH1697, and melteth them: he causeth his windH7307 to blowH5380, and the watersH4325 flowH5140.

19He sheweth his wordH1697 unto JacobH3290, his statutesH2706 and his judgmentsH4941 unto IsraelH3478.

20He hath notH3808 dealt soH3651 with anyH3605 nationH1471: and as for his judgmentsH4941, they have notH3808 knownH3045 them. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
