Psalm 147

New King James Version

² The Lord ^(D)builds up Jerusalem;
^(E)He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
^3 (F)He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their ^[b]wounds.
^4 (G)He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.
^5 (H)Great is our Lord, and ^(I)mighty in power;
^(J)His understanding is infinite.
^6 (K)The Lord lifts up the humble;
He casts the wicked down to the ground.

⁷ Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises on the harp to our God,
^8 (L)Who covers the heavens with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the earth,
Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
^9 (M)He gives to the beast its food,
And ^(N)to the young ravens that cry.

^10 (O)He does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
¹¹ The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His mercy.

¹² Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
¹³ For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your children within you.
^14 (P)He makes peace in your borders,
And ^(Q)fills you with ^[c]the finest wheat.

^15 (R)He sends out His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly.
^16 (S)He gives snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes;
¹⁷ He casts out His hail like ^[d]morsels;
Who can stand before His cold?
^18 (T)He sends out His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

^19 (U)He declares His word to Jacob,
^(V)His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
^20 (W)He has not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His judgments, they have not known them.

^[e]Praise the Lord!
