Psalm 147

Praise for Jerusalem’s Restoration and Prosperity.

^{Tools
1}

^(a)Praise ^(b)the Lord!
For ^(A)it is good to sing praises to our God;
For ^(c)it is pleasant and praise is ^(B)becoming.

^{Tools
2}

The Lord ^(C)builds up Jerusalem;
He ^(D)gathers the outcasts of Israel.

^{Tools
3}

He heals the ^(E)brokenhearted
And ^(F)binds up their ^(d)wounds.

^{Tools
4}

He ^(G)counts the number of the stars;
He ^(e)^(H)gives names to all of them.

^{Tools
5}

^(I)Great is our Lord and abundant in strength;
His ^(J)understanding is ^(f)infinite.

^{Tools
6}

The Lord ^(g)^(K)supports the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.

^{Tools
7}

^(L)Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre,

^{Tools
8}

Who ^(M)covers the heavens with clouds,
Who ^(N)provides rain for the earth,
Who ^(O)makes grass to ^(h)grow on the mountains.

^{Tools
9}

He ^(P)gives to the beast its food,
And to the ^(Q)young ravens which cry.

^{Tools
10}

He does not delight in the strength of the ^(R)horse;
He ^(S)does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.

^{Tools
11}

The Lord ^(T)favors those who fear Him,
^(U)Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

^{Tools
12}

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!

^{Tools
13}

For He has strengthened the ^(V)bars of your gates;
He has ^(W)blessed your sons within you.

^{Tools
14}

He ^(X)makes ⁽ⁱ⁾peace in your borders;
He ^(Y)satisfies you with ^(Z)the ^(j)finest of the wheat.

^{Tools
15}

He sends forth His ^(AA)command to the earth;
His ^(AB)word runs very swiftly.

^{Tools
16}

He gives ^(AC)snow like wool;
He scatters the ^(AD)frost like ashes.

^{Tools
17}

He casts forth His ^(AE)ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His ^(AF)cold?

^{Tools
18}

He ^(AG)sends forth His word and melts them;
He ^(AH)causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow.

^{Tools
19}

He ^(AI)declares His words to Jacob,
His ^(AJ)statutes and His ordinances to Israel.

^{Tools
20}

He ^(AK)has not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His ordinances, they have ^(AL)not known them.
^(k)Praise ^(l)the Lord!
