| 1 | Praise Yahweh! 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) | |
| 2 | Yahweh builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. | ||
| 3 | He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. | ||
| 4 | He determines the number of the stars, he gives to all of them their names. | ||
| 5 | Great is our LORD, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. | ||
| 6 | Yahweh lifts up the downtrodden, he casts the wicked to the ground. | ||
| 7 | Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving; make melody to our God upon the lyre! | ||
| 8 | He covers the heavens with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, he makes grass grow upon the hills. | ||
| 9 | He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens which cry. | ||
| 10 | His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man; | ||
| 11 | but Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. | ||
| 12 | Praise Yahweh, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! | Praise to the Lord the Almighty. Psalm 147b(v147) | |
| 13 | For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your sons within you. | ||
| 14 | He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. | ||
| 15 | He sends forth his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. | ||
| 16 | He gives snow like wool; he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. | ||
| 17 | He casts forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold? | ||
| 18 | He sends forth his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow, and the waters flow. | ||
| 19 | He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and ordinances to Israel. | ||
| 20 | He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his ordinances. Praise Yahweh! | ||
