Psalms 147

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, andpraise is comely. ²Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. ³He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds. ⁴He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. ⁵Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. ⁶Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground. ⁷Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God, ⁸Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. ⁹He giveth to the beast his food, Andto the young ravens which cry. ¹⁰He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. ¹¹Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness. ¹²Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion. ¹³For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. ¹⁴He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. ¹⁵He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly. ¹⁶He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. ¹⁷He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold? ¹⁸He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. ¹⁹He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel. ²⁰He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
