# Psalm 147 [[Ps-146|← Psalm 146]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-148|Psalm 148 →]] *** ###### v1 Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him. ###### v2 Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. ###### v3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. ###### v4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. ###### v5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite. ###### v6 Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground. ###### v7 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God, ###### v8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains. ###### v9 He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call. ###### v10 He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. ###### v11 Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness. ###### v12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion! ###### v13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you. ###### v14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat. ###### v15 He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly. ###### v16 He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes. ###### v17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold? ###### v18 He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow. ###### v19 He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel. ###### v20 He has not done this for just any nation. They don't know his ordinances. Praise Yah! *** [[Ps-146|← Psalm 146]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-148|Psalm 148 →]]
