Psalm 147:1-10 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

2. Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

3. He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.

4. He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.

5. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

6. Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.

7. Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,

8. Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

9. He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry.

10. He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
