Psalms 147

Praise for Jerusalem’s Restoration and Prosperity.

1
Or Hallelujah!
Praise
Heb Yah
the Lord!
For cit is good to sing praises to our God;
For
Or He is gracious
it is pleasant and praise is ebecoming.
2The Lord fbuilds up Jerusalem;
He ggathers the outcasts of Israel.
3He heals the hbrokenhearted
And ibinds up their
Lit sorrows
wounds.
4He kcounts the number of the stars;
He
Or calls them all by their names
,
mgives names to all of them.
5 nGreat is our Lord and abundant in strength;
His ounderstanding is
Lit innumerable
infinite.
6The Lord
Or relieves
,
rsupports the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.

7 sSing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre,
8Who tcovers the heavens with clouds,
Who uprovides rain for the earth,
Who vmakes grass to
Lit spring forth
grow on the mountains.
9He xgives to the beast its food,
And to the yyoung ravens which cry.
10He does not delight in the strength of the zhorse;
He aadoes not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11The Lord abfavors those who fear Him,
acThose who wait for His lovingkindness.

12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13For He has strengthened the adbars of your gates;
He has aeblessed your sons within you.
14He afmakes
Lit your borders peace
peace in your borders;
He ahsatisfies you with aithe
Lit fat
finest of the wheat.
15He sends forth His akcommand to the earth;
His alword runs very swiftly.
16He gives amsnow like wool;
He scatters the anfrost like ashes.
17He casts forth His aoice as fragments;
Who can stand before His apcold?
18He aqsends forth His word and melts them;
He arcauses His wind to blow and the waters to flow.
19He asdeclares His words to Jacob,
His atstatutes and His ordinances to Israel.
20He auhas not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His ordinances, they have avnot known them.
Or Hallelujah!
Praise
Heb Yah
the Lord!
