Psalms 147:1-11 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. Praise you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is fitting.

2. The LORD does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

3. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

4. He determines the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.

5. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

6. The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.

7. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

8. Who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.

9. He gives to the beast its food, and to the young ravens that cry.

10. He delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.

11. The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
