Psalms 147:2-12

²Jerusalem was destroyed, but Yahweh is enabling us to build Jerusalem again. He is bringing back the people who were taken to Babylonia.

³He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again; it is as though they have wounds and he bandages them.

⁴He has determined how many stars there will be, and he gives names to all of them.

⁵Yahweh is great and very powerful, and no one can measure how much he understands.

⁶Yahweh lifts up those who have been oppressed, and he throws the wicked down to the ground.

⁷Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him; on the harps, play music to our God.

⁸He covers the sky with clouds, and then he sends rain to the earth and causes grass to grow on the hills.

⁹He gives to animals the food that they need, and gives food to young crows/birds when they cry out because they are hungry.

¹⁰He is not pleased with strong horses or with men who can run MTY fast.

¹¹Instead, what pleases him are those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to continue to faithfully love them.

¹²You people of APO Jerusalem, praise Yahweh! Praise your God!
