1 Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God! Yes, praise is pleasant and appropriate! 2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem, and gathers the exiles of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted, and bandages their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; he names all of them. 5 Our Lord is great and has awesome power; there is no limit to his wisdom. 6 The LORD lifts up the oppressed, but knocks the wicked to the ground. 7 Offer to the LORD a song of thanks! Sing praises to our God to the accompaniment of a harp! 8 He covers the sky with clouds, provides the earth with rain, and causes grass to grow on the hillsides. 9 He gives food to the animals, and to the young ravens when they chirp. Psalms 147:1-9, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
