Psalms 147

Praise for Jerusalem’s restoration and prosperity.

Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem;

He healeth the broken in heart,

He counteth the number of the stars;

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;

Jehovah upholdeth the meek:

Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving;

Who covereth the heavens with clouds,

He giveth to the beast his food,

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:

Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him,

Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem;

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;

He maketh peace in thy borders;

He sendeth out his commandment upon earth;

He giveth snow like wool;

He casteth forth his ice like morsels:

He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:

He showeth his word unto Jacob,

He hath not dealt so with any nation;
