Psalm 147  Jubilee Bible 2000

¹ ¶ Halelu-JAH: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for praise is pleasant and beautiful.

² The LORD, he who builds up Jerusalem; shall gather together the outcasts of Israel.

³ He heals the broken hearted, and he binds up their wounds.

⁴ He counts the number of the stars and calls them all by their names.

⁵ Great is our Lord and of great power; his intelligence is infinite.

⁶ The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked down to the earth.

⁷ Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

⁸ Who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares the rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.

⁹ He who gives the beast his food and to the sons of the ravens which cry unto him.

¹⁰ He does not delight in the strength of the horse; nor does he take pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹¹ The LORD takes pleasure in those that fear him, in those that wait upon his mercy.

¹² ¶ Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

¹³ For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates; he has blessed thy sons within thee.

¹⁴ He who makes peace to be thy borders shall fill thee with the finest of the wheat.

¹⁵ He sends forth his word upon earth; his word runs very swiftly.

¹⁶ He who gives snow like wool scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.

¹⁷ He casts forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold?

¹⁸ He shall send forth his word and melt them; his wind shall blow, and the waters shall flow.

¹⁹ He declares his words unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

²⁰ He has not dealt so with the other nations, which have not known his judgments. Halelu-JAH.
