Psalms 147:5-17

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!

¹³He guards your city by keeping its gates strong. He blesses the people who live there.

¹⁴He protects the borders of your country, so that enemies from other countries cannot attack you. He gives you plenty of very good wheat/grain to eat.

¹⁵He commands what he wants to be done on the earth, and his words quickly come to the place to which he sends them.

¹⁶He sends snow which covers the ground like a white wool blanket SIM, and he scatters frost on the ground like wind scatters ashes SIM.

¹⁷He sends hail down like ◄pebbles/tiny stones►; when that happens, ◄it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?► RHQ
