Psalm 147 — Legacy Standard Bible

He Heals the Brokenhearted

147¹Praise Yah!For ^ait is good to sing praises to our God;For ²it is pleasant and praise is ^bbecoming.²Yahweh ^abuilds up Jerusalem;He ^bgathers the ¹outcasts of Israel.³He is the One who heals the ^abrokenheartedAnd who ^bbinds up their ¹wounds,⁴Who ^acounts the number of the stars;He ¹^,^bgives names to all of them.⁵^aGreat is our Lord and abundant in power;His ^bdiscernment is ¹infinite.⁶Yahweh ¹^,^ahelps up the afflicted;He brings down the wicked to the ground.⁷^aSing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;Sing praises to our God on the lyre.⁸He is the One who ^acovers the heavens with clouds,The One who ^bprovides rain for the earth,The One who ^cmakes grass to sprout on the mountains,⁹Who ^agives to the animal its food,And to the ^byoung ravens which call out.¹⁰He does not delight in the might of the ^ahorse;He ^bdoes not take pleasure in the legs of a man.¹¹Yahweh ^ais pleased with those who fear Him,^bThose who wait for His lovingkindness.¹²Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem!Praise your God, O Zion!¹³For He strengthened the ^abars of your gates;He ^bblessed your sons within you.¹⁴He is the One who ^asets ¹peace in your borders,He ^bsatisfies you with ^cthe ²finest of the wheat,¹⁵The One who sends forth His ^acommand to the earth;His ^bword runs very swiftly,¹⁶The One who gives ^asnow like wool;He scatters the ^bfrost like ashes,¹⁷Who casts forth His ^aice as fragments;Who can stand before His ^bcold?¹⁸He ^asends forth His word and melts them;He ^bcauses His wind to blow and so the waters flow,¹⁹Who ^adeclares His words to Jacob,His ^bstatutes and His judgments to Israel.²⁰He ^ahas not done so with any nation;So as for His judgments, they have ^bnot known them.¹Praise Yah!
