NASB Bible

Psalms 147

Praise for Jerusalem's Restoration and Prosperity.

1

 1Praise  2the LORD! For  ait is good to sing praises to our God; For  3it is pleasant and praise is  bbecoming.

2

The LORD  abuilds up Jerusalem; He  bgathers the outcasts of Israel.

3

He heals the  abrokenhearted And  bbinds up their  1wounds.

4

He  acounts the number of the stars; He  1 bgives names to all of them.

5

 aGreat is our Lord and abundant in strength; His  bunderstanding is  1infinite.

6

The LORD  1 asupports the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground.

7

 aSing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre,

8

Who  acovers the heavens with clouds, Who  bprovides rain for the earth, Who  cmakes grass to  1grow on the mountains.

9

He  agives to the beast its food, And to the  byoung ravens which cry.

10

He does not delight in the strength of the  ahorse; He  bdoes not take pleasure in the legs of a man.

11

The LORD  afavors those who fear Him,  bThose who wait for His lovingkindness.

12

Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!

13

For He has strengthened the  abars of your gates; He has  bblessed your sons within you.

14

He  amakes  1peace in your borders; He  bsatisfies you with  cthe  2finest of the wheat.

15

He sends forth His  acommand to the earth; His  bword runs very swiftly.

16

He gives  asnow like wool; He scatters the  bfrost like ashes.

17

He casts forth His  aice as fragments; Who can stand before His  bcold?

18

He  asends forth His word and melts them; He  bcauses His wind to blow and the waters to flow.

19

He  adeclares His words to Jacob, His  bstatutes and His ordinances to Israel.

20

He  ahas not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they have  bnot known them.  1Praise  2the LORD!
