New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 147
1
Praise the LORD!<br> How good to sing praises to our God (Elohim)!<br>How delightful and how fitting!<br>
2
The LORD is rebuilding Jerusalem<br>and bringing the exiles back to Israel.<br>
3
He heals the brokenhearted<br>and bandages their wounds.<br>
4
He counts the stars<br>and calls them all by name.<br>
5
How great is our Lord! His power is absolute!<br>His understanding is beyond comprehension!<br>
6
The LORD supports the humble,<br>but he brings the wicked down into the dust.<br>
7
Sing out your thanks to the LORD;<br>sing praises to our God (Elohim) with a harp.<br>
8
He covers the heavens with clouds,<br>provides rain for the earth,<br>and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.<br>
9
He gives food to the wild animals<br>and feeds the young ravens when they cry.<br>
10
He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse<br>or in human might.<br>
11
No, the LORD’s delight is in those who fear him,<br>those who put their hope in his unfailing love.<br>
12
Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem!<br>Praise your God (Elohim), O Zion!<br>
13
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates<br>and blessed your children within your walls.<br>
14
He sends peace across your nation<br>and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat.<br>
15
He sends his orders to the world —<br>how swiftly his word flies!<br>
16
He sends the snow like white wool;<br>he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.<br>
17
He hurls the hail like stones.<br>Who can stand against his freezing cold?<br>
18
Then, at his command, it all melts.<br>He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.<br>
19
He has revealed his words to Jacob,<br>his decrees and regulations to Israel.<br>
20
He has not done this for any other nation;<br>they do not know his regulations.<br> Praise the LORD!<br>
