| Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is seemly. | Praise to the Lord the Almighty. Psalm 147a(v146) | ||
| The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. | |||
| He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. | |||
| He determines the number of the stars, he gives to all of them their names. | |||
| Great is our LORD, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. | |||
| The LORD lifts up the downtrodden, he casts the wicked to the ground. | |||
| Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God upon the lyre! | |||
| He covers the heavens with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, he makes grass grow upon the hills. | |||
| He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens which cry. | |||
| His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man; | |||
| but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. | |||
| Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! | Praise to the Lord the Almighty. Psalm 147b(v147) | ||
| For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your sons within you. | |||
| He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. | |||
| He sends forth his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. | |||
| He gives snow like wool; he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. | |||
| He casts forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold? | |||
| He sends forth his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow, and the waters flow. | |||
| He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and ordinances to Israel. | |||
| He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his ordinances. Praise the LORD! | |||
