Psalms 147 — ILT
147Verse 1Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is comely; [him] becometh praise.Verse 2The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: the outcasts of Israel will he gather together;Verse 3He that healeth the broken-hearted, and bindeth up their hurts;Verse 4Who counteth the number of the stars; who calleth them all by [their] names.Verse 5Great is our Lord, and abundant in power: his understanding is immeasurable.Verse 6The Lord helpeth up the meek: he bringeth down the wicked to the ground.Verse 7Lift up a song unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises unto our God with the harp;Verse 8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who causeth grass to grow upon the mountains;Verse 9Who giveth to the beast its food, to the young ravens which cry.Verse 10Not in the strength of the horse hath he delight: nor in the [swiftness of the] legs of man taketh he pleasure.Verse 11The Lord taketh pleasure in those that fear him, that wait for his kindness.Verse 12Glorify, O Jerusalem, the Lord: praise thy God, O Zion.Verse 13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children in the midst of thee;Verse 14He who bestoweth peace in thy borders, who satisfieth thee with the best of wheat;Verse 15He who sendeth forth his decree unto the earth: how swiftly speedeth his word along!Verse 16He who dispenseth snow like wool; who streweth about the hoarfrost like ashes;Verse 17He who casteth down his ice like pieces: before his cold who can stand?Verse 18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and waters run along.Verse 19He declareth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.Verse 20He hath not done so unto any nation: and [his] ordinances— these they know not. Hallelujah.
