Psalms

Psalm 147

Praise the Lord!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
    for it is pleasant,^[a] and a song of praise is fitting.
² The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
    he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
³ He heals the brokenhearted
    and binds up their wounds.
⁴ He determines the number of the stars;
    he gives to all of them their names.
⁵ Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
     his understanding is beyond measure.
⁶ The Lord lifts up the humble;^[b]
    he casts the wicked to the ground.

⁷ Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
