Psalms 147:7-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. Sing to the Lord with thanks;sing praises to our God with a lyre!

8. God covers the skies with clouds;God makes rain for the earth;God makes the mountains sprout green grass.

9. God gives food to the animals—even to the baby ravens when they cry out.

10. God doesn’t prize the strength of a horse;God doesn’t treasure the legs of a runner.

11. No. The Lord treasures the peoplewho honor him,the people who wait for his faithful love.

12. Worship the Lord, Jerusalem!Praise your God, Zion!
