Psalms 147

1Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.

1Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

2Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.

2The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

3Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.

3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

4Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.

4He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

5Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.

5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

6He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?

6The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

7He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.

7Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

8Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.

8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

9He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.

9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
