Psalms 147:1-9 ▼

1 Praise ye Jah! for it is good. Sing psalms of our God; for it is pleasant: praise is comely.

2 Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth the outcasts of Israel.

3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

4 He counteth the number of the stars; he giveth names to them all.

5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

6 Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth.

7 Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto our God:

8 Who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains;

9 Who giveth to the cattle their food, to the young ravens which cry.
