Psalm 147 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Praise for Jerusalem’s Restoration and Prosperity.

147 ^[a]Praise ^[b]the Lord!
For ^(A)it is good to sing praises to our God;
For ^[c]it is pleasant and praise is ^[d]^(B)beautiful.
²The Lord ^(C)builds up Jerusalem;
He ^(D)gathers the outcasts of Israel.
³He heals the ^(E)brokenhearted
And ^(F)binds up their ^[e]wounds.
⁴He ^(G)counts the number of the stars;
He ^[f]^(H)gives names to all of them.
⁵^(I)Great is our Lord and abundant in strength;
His ^(J)understanding is ^[g]infinite.
⁶The Lord ^[h]^(K)supports the afflicted;
He brings the wicked down to the ground.

⁷^(L)Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre;
⁸It is He who ^(M)covers the heavens with clouds,
Who ^(N)provides rain for the earth,
Who ^(O)makes grass sprout on the mountains.
⁹It is He who ^(P)gives an animal its food,
And feeds ^(Q)young ravens that cry.
¹⁰He does not delight in ^[i]the strength of the ^(R)horse;
He ^(S)does not take pleasure in the ^[j]legs of a man.
¹¹The Lord ^(T)favors those who fear Him,
^(U)Those who wait for His ^[k]faithfulness.

¹²Praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Praise your God, Zion!
¹³For He has strengthened the ^(V)bars of your gates;
He has ^(W)blessed your sons among you.
¹⁴He ^(X)makes ^[l]peace in your borders;
He ^(Y)satisfies you with ^(Z)the ^[m]finest of the wheat.
¹⁵He sends His ^(AA)command to the earth;
His ^(AB)word runs very swiftly.
¹⁶He ^[n]showers ^(AC)snow like wool;
He scatters the ^(AD)frost like ashes.
¹⁷He hurls His ^(AE)ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His ^(AF)cold?
¹⁸He ^(AG)sends His word and makes them melt;
He ^(AH)makes His wind blow, and the waters flow.
¹⁹He ^(AI)declares His words to Jacob,
His ^(AJ)statutes and His judgments to Israel.
²⁰He ^(AK)has not dealt this way with any other nation;
And as for His judgments, ^[o]they have ^(AL)not known them.
^[p]Praise ^[q]the Lord!
