Psalms 147:1-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Hallelujah!How good it is to sing to our God,for praise is pleasant and lovely.

2. The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers Israel’s exiled people.

3. He heals the brokenheartedand binds up their wounds.

4. He counts the number of the stars;He gives names to all of them.

5. Our Lord is great, vast in power;His understanding is infinite.

6. The Lord helps the afflictedbut brings the wicked to the ground.

7. Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;play the lyre to our God,

8. who covers the sky with clouds,prepares rain for the earth,and causes grass to grow on the hills.

9. He provides the animals with their food,and the young ravens, what they cry for.

10. He is not impressed by the strength of a horse;He does not value the power of a man.
