Psalm 147

^147:1Praise Yah,
      For it is good to sing praises to our God;
      For it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

 ^147:2Yahweh builds up Jerusalem.
      He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

 ^147:3He heals the broken in heart,
      And binds up their wounds.

 ^147:4He counts the number of the stars.
      He calls them all by their names.

 ^147:5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.
      His understanding is infinite.

 ^147:6Yahweh upholds the humble.
      He brings the wicked down to the ground.

 ^147:7Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving.
      Sing praises on the harp to our God,

 ^147:8Who covers the sky with clouds,
      Who prepares rain for the earth,
      Who makes grass grow on the mountains.

 ^147:9He provides food for the cattle,
      And for the young ravens when they call.

 ^147:10He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse.
      He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

 ^147:11Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him,
      In those who hope in his lovingkindness.

 ^147:12Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem!
      Praise your God, Zion!

 ^147:13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates.
      He has blessed your children within you.

 ^147:14He makes peace in your borders.
      He fills you with the finest of the wheat.

 ^147:15He sends out his commandment on earth.
      His word runs very swiftly.

 ^147:16He gives snow like wool,
      And scatters frost like ashes.

 ^147:17He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
      Who can stand before his cold?

 ^147:18He sends out his word, and melts them.
      He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

 ^147:19He shows his word to Jacob;
      His statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

 ^147:20He has not done this for any nation;
      They don't know his ordinances.

 Praise Yah!
