Psalm 147:1-11, 20c
147:1 Praise the LORD! How good it is to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting. 

147:2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. 

147:3 He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. 

147:4 He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. 

147:5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. 

147:6 The LORD lifts up the downtrodden; he casts the wicked to the ground. 

147:7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre. 

147:8 He covers the heavens with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, makes grass grow on the hills. 

147:9 He gives to the animals their food, and to the young ravens when they cry. 

147:10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the speed of a runner; 

147:11 but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.

147:20c Praise the LORD!
