147:1 Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
147:2 the Lord doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel;
147:3 Who healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
147:4 He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names.
147:5 Great is our L-rd, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
147:6 the Lord upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
147:7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
147:8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.
147:9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
147:10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
147:11 the Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that wait for His mercy.
147:12 Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
147:13 For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.
147:14 He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.
147:15 He sendeth out His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.
147:16 He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
147:17 He casteth forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold?
147:18 He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
147:19 He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.
147:20 He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Hallelujah.
