He Heals the Brokenhearted

147 [a]Praise Yah!
For (A)it is good to sing praises to our God;
For [b]it is pleasant and praise is (B)becoming.
Yahweh (C)builds up Jerusalem;
He (D)gathers the [c]outcasts of Israel.
He is the One who heals the (E)brokenhearted
And who (F)binds up their [d]wounds,
Who (G)counts the number of the stars;
He [e](H)gives names to all of them.
(I)Great is our Lord and abundant in power;
His (J)discernment is [f]infinite.
Yahweh [g](K)helps up the afflicted;
He brings down the wicked to the ground.

(L)Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving;
Sing praises to our God on the lyre.
He is the One who (M)covers the heavens with clouds,
The One who (N)provides rain for the earth,
The One who (O)makes grass to sprout on the mountains,
Who (P)gives to the animal its food,
And to the (Q)young ravens which call out.
10 He does not delight in the might of the (R)horse;
He (S)does not take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Yahweh (T)is pleased with those who fear Him,
(U)Those who wait for His lovingkindness.
