Psalms 147:1-9 ▼

1 Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.

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

3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

6 Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.

7 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,

8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.

9 He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
