Psalms 147
1 Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is comely; [him] becometh praise.
Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing vnto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and praise is comely.
2 The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: the outcasts of Israel will he gather together;
The Lord doth builde vp Ierusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 He that healeth the broken-hearted, and bindeth up their hurts;
He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.
4 Who counteth the number of the stars; who calleth them all by [their] names.
He counteth the nomber of the starres, and calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power: his understanding is immeasurable.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdome is infinite.
6 The Lord helpeth up the meek: he bringeth down the wicked to the ground.
The Lord relieueth the meeke, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.
7 Lift up a song unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises unto our God with the harp;
Sing vnto the Lord with prayse: sing vpon the harpe vnto our God,
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who causeth grass to grow upon the mountains;
Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:
9 Who giveth to the beast its food, to the young ravens which cry.
Which giueth to beasts their foode, and to the yong rauens that crie.
10 Not in the strength of the horse hath he delight: nor in the [swiftness of the] legs of man taketh he pleasure.
He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.
11 The Lord taketh pleasure in those that fear him, that wait for his kindness.
But the Lord deliteth in them that feare him, and attende vpon his mercie.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, the Lord: praise thy God, O Zion.
Prayse the Lord, O Ierusalem: prayse thy God, O Zion.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children in the midst of thee;
For he hath made the barres of thy gates strong, and hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 He who bestoweth peace in thy borders, who satisfieth thee with the best of wheat;
He setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the floure of wheate.
15 He who sendeth forth his decree unto the earth: how swiftly speedeth his word along!
He sendeth foorth his commandement vpon earth, and his worde runneth very swiftly.
16 He who dispenseth snow like wool; who streweth about the hoarfrost like ashes;
He giueth snowe like wooll, and scattereth the hoare frost like ashes.
17 He who casteth down his ice like pieces: before his cold who can stand?
He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and waters run along.
He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.
19 He declareth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.
He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.
20 He hath not done so unto any nation: and [his] ordinances— these they know not. Hallelujah.
He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
