Psalm 147
God Restores Jerusalem
1Hallelujah!
How good it is to sing to our God,
3He heals the brokenhearted
4He counts the number of the stars;
5Our Lord is great, vast in power;
6The Lord helps the oppressed
but brings the wicked to the ground.147:6 Ps 146:8–9
7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
8who covers the sky with clouds,
prepares rain for the earth,
9He provides the animals with their food,
and the young ravens what they cry for.147:9 Jb 38:41; Ps 104:27–28
10He is not impressed by the strength of a horse;
he does not value the power of a warrior.147:10 Lit the legs of the man147:10 Ps 33:17
11The Lord values those who fear him,
12Exalt the Lord, Jerusalem;
13For he strengthens the bars of your city gates
and blesses your children within you.147:13 Neh 7:3
15He sends his command throughout the earth;
his word runs swiftly.147:15 Ps 104:4
16He spreads snow like wool;
17he throws his hailstones like crumbs.
Who can withstand his cold?147:17 Jb 37:9–10
18He sends his word and melts them;
19He declares his word to Jacob,
20He has not done this for every nation;
Hallelujah!
