Psalms 147

DOUAI-RHEIMS	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.	1 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:	2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.	3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.	4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:	5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.	6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:	7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 the Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.	8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.	9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.	10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
	11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
	12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
	13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
	14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
	15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
	16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
	17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
	18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
	19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
	20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
