Psalms 147:1-9

¹Hallelujah. It is good to sing praise to our God, for praise is sweet and seemly.

²The Lord builds up Jerusalem, the outcasts of Israel he gathers.

³He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

⁴He counts the numberless stars, he gives names to them all.

⁵Great is our Lord, rich in power, and measureless is his wisdom.

⁶The Lord lifts up the down-trodden, the wicked he brings to the ground.

⁷Sing songs of thanks to the Lord, and play on the lyre to our God.

⁸For he covers the sky with clouds, he prepares rain for the earth, makes grass to grow on the mountains.

⁹He gives the cattle their food the young ravens when they cry.
