Psalms 147:1-9 ▼

1 Praise Yah! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is becoming.

2 Yahweh builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel.

3 He is the One who heals the brokenhearted And who binds up their wounds,

4 Who counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.

5 Great is our Lord and abundant in power; His discernment is infinite.

6 Yahweh helps up the afflicted; He brings down the wicked to the ground.

7 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre.

8 He is the One who covers the heavens with clouds, The One who provides rain for the earth, The One who makes grass to sprout on the mountains,

9 Who gives to the animal its food, And to the young ravens which call out.
