CHAPTER 147

1
Hallelujah!
How
good it is
to sing praises
to our God,
for
praise
is pleasant
and lovely.
2
The LORD
builds up
Jerusalem;
He gathers
the exiles
of Israel.
3
He heals
the brokenhearted
and binds
up their wounds.
4
He determines
the number
of the stars;
He calls
them each
by name.
5
Great
is our Lord
and mighty
in power;
His understanding
has no
limit.
6
The LORD
sustains
the afflicted,
but casts
the wicked
to the ground.
7
Sing
to the LORD
with thanksgiving;
make music
on the harp
to our God,
8
who covers
the sky
with clouds,
who prepares
rain
for the earth,
who makes grass
to grow
on the hills.
9
He provides
food
for the animals,
and for the young
ravens
when they call.
10
He does not
delight
in the strength
of the horse;
He takes no
pleasure
in the legpower
of the man.
11
The LORD
is pleased
with those who fear Him,
who hope
in His loving devotion.
12
Exalt
the LORD,
O Jerusalem;
praise
your God,
O Zion!
13
For
He strengthens
the bars
of your gates
and blesses
the children
within you.
14
He makes
peace
at your borders;
He fills you
with the finest
wheat.
15
He sends forth
His command
to
the earth;
His word
runs
swiftly.
16
He spreads
the snow
like wool;
He scatters
the frost
like ashes;
17
He casts forth
His hail
like pebbles.
Who
can withstand
His icy blast?
18
He sends forth
His word
and melts them;
He unleashes
His winds,
and the waters
flow.
19
He declares
His word
to Jacob,
His statutes
and judgments
to Israel.
20
He has done
this
for no other
nation;
they do not
know
His judgments.
Hallelujah!
