Psalms 147
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1Praise the LORD because he is good. Sing praises to our God. It is good and pleasant to praise him.
- 2The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem. He brings back the Israelites who were taken as prisoners.
- 3He heals their broken hearts and bandages their wounds.
- 4He counts the stars and knows each of them by name.
- 5Our Lord is great and powerful. There is no limit to what he knows.
- 6The LORD supports the humble, but he shames the wicked.
- 7Give thanks to the LORD. Praise our God with harps.
- 8He fills the sky with clouds. He sends rain to the earth. He makes the grass grow on the mountains.
- 9He gives food to the animals. He feeds the young birds that cry out.
- 10War horses and powerful soldiers are not what he cares about.
- 11The LORD enjoys people who worship him and trust in his faithful love.
- 12Jerusalem, praise the LORD! Zion, praise your God!
- 13He makes your gates strong, and he blesses the people in your city.
- 14He brought peace to your country, so you have plenty of grain for food.
- 15He gives a command to the earth, and it quickly obeys.
- 16He makes the snow fall until the ground is as white as wool. He makes sleet blow through the air like dust.
