Psalms 147

1Praise ye Jehovah;

2Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem;

3He healeth the broken in heart,

4He counteth the number of the stars;

5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;

6Jehovah upholdeth the meek:

7Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving;

8Who covereth the heavens with clouds,

9He giveth to the beast his food,

10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:

11Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him,

12Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem;

13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;

14He maketh peace in thy borders;

15He sendeth out his commandment upon earth;

16He giveth snow like wool;

17He casteth forth his ice like morsels:

18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:

19He showeth his word unto Jacob,

20He hath not dealt so with any nation;
