Psalms 147:1-11

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.
