Psalm 147: 1-11

Praise the Lord

How good it is to sing praise to our God,  how pleasant and fitting to praise Him!
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make music to our Godon the harp.
He covers the sky with clouds; He supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.  He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.  His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; The Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.
