Psalms - Chapter 147 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. Praise ye the LORD: for {cf15I it is} good to sing praises unto our God; for {cf15I it is} pleasant; {cf15I 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 {cf15I their} names.
  • 5. Great {cf15I is} our Lord, and of great power: his understanding {cf15I 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, {cf15I 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 {cf15I in} thy borders, {cf15I and} filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
  • 15. He sendeth forth his commandment {cf15I 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, {cf15I 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 {cf15I as for his} judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
