<< Mazmur 147 >>

1PRAISE the LORD. How good it is to sing psalms to our God! How pleasant and right to praise him!

2The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem; he gathers in the scattered Israelites.

3It is he who heals the broken in spirit and binds up their wounds,

4who numbers the stars one by one and calls each by name.

5Mighty is our Lord and great his power; his wisdom is beyond all telling.

6The LORD gives support to the humble and brings evildoers to the ground.

7Sing to the LORD a song of thanksgiving, sing psalms to the lyre in honour of our God.

8He veils the sky in clouds and provides rain for the earth; he clothes the hills with grass.

9He gives food to the cattle and to the ravens when they cry.

10The LORD does not delight in the strength of a horse and takes no pleasure in a runner's fleetness;

11his pleasure is in those who fear him, who wait for his steadfast love.

12Jerusalem, sing to the LORD; Zion, praise your God,

13for he has strengthened your barred gates; he has blessed your inhabitants.

14He has brought peace to your realm and given you the best of wheat in plenty.

15He sends his command over the earth, and his word runs swiftly.

16He showers down snow, white as wool, and sprinkles hoar-frost like ashes;

17he scatters crystals of ice like crumbs; he sends the cold, and the water stands frozen;

18he utters his word, and the ice is melted; he makes the wind blow, and the water flows again.

19To Jacob he reveals his word, his statutes and decrees to Israel;

20he has not done this for other nations, nor were his decrees made known to them. Praise the LORD.
