Psalm 147
Praise for God’s Care for Jerusalem
1 Praise the Lord!
How good it is to sing praises to our God,
for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting.(A)
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the outcasts of Israel.(B)
3 He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.(C)
4 He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.(D)
5 Great is our Lord and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.(E)
6 The Lord lifts up the downtrodden;
he casts the wicked to the ground.
