Psalms 147 — BBE
147Verse 1Give praise to the Lord; for it is good to make melody to our God; praise is pleasing and beautiful.
Verse 2The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.

Verse 4He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.
Verse 5Great is our Lord, and great his power; there is no limit to his wisdom.
Verse 6The Lord gives help to the poor in spirit; but he sends sinners down in shame.
Verse 7Make songs of praise to the Lord; make melody to our God with instruments of music.
Verse 8By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.
Verse 9He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.
Verse 10He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
Verse 11The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.
Verse 12Give praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; give praise to your God, O Zion.
Verse 13He has made strong the iron bands of your doors; he has sent blessings on your children inside your walls.
Verse 14He gives peace in all your land, making your stores full of fat grain.
Verse 15He sends out his orders to the earth; his word goes out quickly.
Verse 16He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.
Verse 17He sends down ice like raindrops: water is made hard by his cold.
