| Psalms 147: (ASV) |
| 1) Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely. |
| 2) Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. |
| 3) He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds. |
| 4) He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. |
| 5) Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. |
| 6) Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground. |
| 7) Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God, |
| 8) Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. |
| 9) He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry. |
| 10) He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. |
| 11) Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness. |
| 12) Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion. |
| 13) For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. |
| 14) He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. |
| 15) He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly. |
| 16) He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. |
| 17) He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold? |
| 18) He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. |
| 19) He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel. |
| 20) He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah. |
