Psalms 147

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh -- it is good to sing psalms to our God -- how pleasant to praise him.	1 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 Yahweh, Builder of Jerusalem! He gathers together the exiles of Israel,	2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 healing the broken-hearted and binding up their wounds;	3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 he counts out the number of the stars, and gives each one of them a name.	4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Our Lord is great, al -powerful, his wisdom beyond al telling.	5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 Yahweh sustains the poor, and humbles the wicked to the ground.	6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing to Yahweh in thanksgiving, play the harp for our God.	7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 He veils the sky with clouds, and provides the earth with rain, makes grass grow on the hills andplants for people to use,	8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 gives fodder to cattle and to young ravens when they cry.	9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He takes no delight in the power of horses, no pleasure in human sturdiness;	10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 his pleasure is in those who fear him, in those who hope in his faithful love.	11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, Zion, praise your God.	12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 For he gives strength to the bars of your gates, he blesses your children within you,	13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 he maintains the peace of your frontiers, gives you your fil of finest wheat.	14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends his word to the earth, his command runs quickly,	15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 he spreads the snow like flax, strews hoarfrost like ashes,	16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 he sends ice-crystals like breadcrumbs, and who can withstand that cold?	17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 When he sends his word it thaws them, when he makes his wind blow, the waters are unstopped.	18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He reveals his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgements to Israel.	19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 For no other nation has he done this, no other has known his judgements.	20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
