Psalm 147 | New International Version
1Praise the Lord.* How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!2The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.3He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.4He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.5Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.6The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.7Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp.8He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.9He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.10His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;11the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.12Extol the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion.13He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you.14He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.15He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.16He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.17He hurls down hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?18He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.19He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel.20He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws.* Praise the Lord.
New International Reader’s Version
1Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God! How pleasant and right it is to praise him!2The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers the scattered people of Israel.3He heals those who have broken hearts. He takes care of their wounds.4He decides how many stars there should be. He gives each one of them a name.5Great is our Lord. His power is mighty. There is no limit to his understanding.6The LORD gives strength to those who aren’t proud. But he throws evil people down to the ground.7Sing to the LORD and give him grateful praise. Make music to our God on the harp.8He covers the sky with clouds. He supplies the earth with rain. He makes grass grow on the hills.9He provides food for the cattle. He provides for the young ravens when they cry out.10He doesn’t take pleasure in the strength of horses. He doesn’t take delight in the strong legs of warriors.11The LORD takes delight in those who have respect for him. They put their hope in his faithful love.12Jerusalem, praise the LORD. Zion, praise your God.13He makes the metal bars of your gates stronger. He blesses the people who live inside you.14He keeps your borders safe and secure. He satisfies you with the finest wheat.15He sends his command to the earth. His word arrives there quickly.16He spreads the snow like wool. He scatters the frost like ashes.17He throws down his hail like pebbles. No one can stand his icy blast.18He gives his command, and the ice melts. He stirs up his winds, and the waters flow.19He has made his word known to the people of Jacob. He has made his laws and rules known to Israel.20He hasn’t done that for any other nation. They don’t know his laws. Praise the LORD.
