Psalms - Chapter 147 | New International Version

  • 1. Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
  • 2. The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.
  • 3. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
  • 4. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
  • 5. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
  • 6. The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
  • 7. Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp.
  • 8. He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.
  • 9. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.
  • 10. His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man;
  • 11. the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
  • 12. Extol the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion,
  • 13. for he strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you.
  • 14. He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
  • 15. He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
  • 16. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
  • 17. He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?
  • 18. He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
  • 19. He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel.
  • 20. He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the LORD.
