Psalm 147

From Textus Receptus

• 1 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

• 2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

• 3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

• 4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

• 5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

• 6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

• 7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

• 8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

• 9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

• 10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

• 11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

• 12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

• 13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.

• 14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

• 15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.

• 16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

• 17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

• 18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

• 19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

• 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
