Psalm chapter 147

English Standard Version

1Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. 2The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. 3He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 4He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. 5Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. 6The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground. 7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! 8He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. 9He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. 10His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, 11but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. 12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you. 14He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. 15He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. 16He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes. 17He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold? 18He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow. 19He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules to Israel. 20He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules. Praise the LORD!
New International Version

1Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! 2The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. 3He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 4He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. 5Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
6The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
7Sing to the LORD with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp. 8He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.
9He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call. 10His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
11the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
12Extol the LORD, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion. 13He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you.
14He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat. 15He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. 16He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. 17He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can withstand his icy blast?
18He sends his word and melts them; he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow. 19He has revealed his word to Jacob, his laws and decrees to Israel.
20He has done this for no other nation; they do not know his laws. Praise the LORD.
New American Standard Bible

1 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is beautiful. 2The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel. 3He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds. 4He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. 5Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. 6The Lord supports the afflicted; He brings the wicked down to the ground. 7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God on the lyre; 8 It is He who covers the heavens with clouds, Who provides rain for the earth, Who makes grass sprout on the mountains. 9 It is He who gives an animal its food, And feeds young ravens that cry. 10He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He does not take pleasure in the legs of a man. 11The Lord favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His faithfulness. 12Praise the Lord, Jerusalem!

Praise the Lord!
Christian Standard Bible

1Hallelujah! How good it is to sing to our God, for praise is pleasant and lovely. 2The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; he gathers Israel's exiled people. 3He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. 4He counts the number of the stars; he gives names to all of them. 5Our Lord is great, vast in power; his understanding is infinite.
6The Lord helps the oppressed but brings the wicked to the ground. 7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; play the lyre to our God, 8who covers the sky with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, and causes grass to grow on the hills.
9He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens what they cry for. 10He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; he does not value the power of a warrior.
11The Lord values those who fear him, those who put their hope in his faithful love. 12Exalt the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion! 13For he strengthens the bars of your city gates and blesses your children within you.
14He endows your territory with prosperity; he satisfies you with the finest wheat. 15He sends his command throughout the earth; his word runs swiftly. 16He spreads snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes; 17he throws his hailstones like crumbs. Who can withstand his cold?
18He sends his word and melts them; he unleashes his winds, and the water flows. 19He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgments to Israel. 20He has not done this for every nation; they do not know his judgments. Hallelujah!
New Living Translation

1Praise the Lord! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting! 2The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. 3He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. 4He counts the stars and calls them all by name. 5How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! 6The Lord supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust.
7Sing out your thanks to the Lord; sing praises to our God with a harp. 8He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. 9He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. 10He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. 11No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.
12Glorify the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13For he has strengthened the bars of your gates and blessed your children within your walls. 14He sends peace across your nation and satisfies your hunger with the finest wheat. 15He sends his orders to the world — how swiftly his word flies! 16He sends the snow like white wool; he scatters frost upon the ground like ashes. 17He hurls the hail like stones. Who can stand against his freezing cold? 18Then, at his command, it all melts. He sends his winds, and the ice thaws. 19He has revealed his words to Jacob, his decrees and regulations to Israel.
20He has not done this for any other nation; they do not know his regulations. Praise the Lord!
King James Version

1Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. 2The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 4He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 6The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. 7Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 11The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. 14He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. 16He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
