Psalms 147

King James Version

• 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.
