Book - Psalms - Chapter = 147 --> NLT
-
Praise the LORD! How good it is to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how right!
-
The LORD is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel.
-
He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds.
-
He counts the stars and calls them all by name.
-
How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!
-
The LORD supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust.
-
Sing out your thanks to the LORD; sing praises to our God, accompanied by harps.
-
He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the green grass grow in mountain pastures.
-
He feeds the wild animals, and the young ravens cry to him for food.
-
The strength of a horse does not impress him; how puny in his sight is the strength of a man.
-
Rather, the LORD's delight is in those who honor him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
-
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
-
For he has fortified the bars of your gates and blessed your children within you.
-
He sends peace across your nation and satisfies you with plenty of the finest wheat.
-
He sends his orders to the world--how swiftly his word flies!
-
He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes.
-
He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold?
-
Then, at his command, it all melts. He sends his winds, and the ice thaws.
-
He has revealed his words to Jacob, his principles and laws to Israel.
-
He has not done this with any other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the LORD!
