Psalm 147

	Psa 147:1	Praise the LORD! For [it is] good to sing praises to our God; For [it is] pleasant, [and] praise is beautiful.
	Psa 147:2	The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
	Psa 147:3	He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
	Psa 147:4	He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.
	Psa 147:5	Great [is] our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding [is] infinite.
	Psa 147:6	The LORD lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.
	Psa 147:7	Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises on the harp to our God,
	Psa 147:8	Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
	Psa 147:9	He gives to the beast its food, [And] to the young ravens that cry.
	Psa 147:10	He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
	Psa 147:11	The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who hope in His mercy.
	Psa 147:12	Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
	Psa 147:13	For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your children within you.
	Psa 147:14	He makes peace [in] your borders, [And] fills you with the finest wheat.
	Psa 147:15	He sends out His command [to the] earth; His word runs very swiftly.
	Psa 147:16	He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
	Psa 147:17	He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold?
	Psa 147:18	He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
	Psa 147:19	He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
	Psa 147:20	He has not dealt thus with any nation; And [as for His] judgments, they have not known them. Praise the LORD!
