Psalms 147
</p>
<p>
1. Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant;
and praise is comely.
<br/>
2. The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
<br/>
3. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
<br/>
4. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
<br/>
5. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
<br/>
6. The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
<br/>
7. Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
<br/>
8. Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh
grass to grow upon the mountains.
<br/>
9. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
<br/>
10. He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs
of a man.
<br/>
11. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
<br/>
12. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
<br/>
13. For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within
thee.
<br/>
14. He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
<br/>
15. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
<br/>
16. He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
<br/>
17. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
<br/>
18. He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the
waters flow.
<br/>
<b>19. He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.</b>
<br/>
<b> 20. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not
known them. Praise ye the Lord.</b>
