Psalm 147:3-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. He heals the brokenheartedand binds up their wounds.

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

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

6. The Lord lifts up the humble;he casts the wicked to the ground.

7. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;make melody to our God on the lyre!

8. He covers the heavens with clouds;he prepares rain for the earth;he makes grass grow on the hills.

9. He gives to the beasts their food,and to the young ravens that cry.

10. His delight is not in the strength of the horse,nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,

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