Psalm 147

Legacy Standard Bible

^7 (L)Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre.
⁸ He is the One who ^(M)covers the heavens with clouds,
The One who ^(N)provides rain for the earth,
The One who ^(O)makes grass to sprout on the mountains,
⁹ Who ^(P)gives to the animal its food,
And to the ^(Q)young ravens which call out.
¹⁰ He does not delight in the might of the ^(R)horse;
He ^(S)does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
¹¹ Yahweh ^(T)is pleased with those who fear Him,
^(U)Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

¹² Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
¹³ For He strengthened the ^(V)bars of your gates;
He ^(W)blessed your sons within you.
¹⁴ He is the One who ^(X)sets ^[h]peace in your borders,
He ^(Y)satisfies you with ^(Z)the ^[i]finest of the wheat,
¹⁵ The One who sends forth His ^(AA)command to the earth;
His ^(AB)word runs very swiftly,
¹⁶ The One who gives ^(AC)snow like wool;
He scatters the ^(AD)frost like ashes,
¹⁷ Who casts forth His ^(AE)ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His ^(AF)cold?
¹⁸ He ^(AG)sends forth His word and melts them;
He ^(AH)causes His wind to blow and so the waters flow,
¹⁹ Who ^(AI)declares His words to Jacob,
His ^(AJ)statutes and His judgments to Israel.
²⁰ He ^(AK)has not done so with any nation;
So as for His judgments, they have ^(AL)not known them.
^[j]Praise Yah!
