New International Version

Psalm 147:5-16 New International Version (NIV)

5. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

6. The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.

7. Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp.

8. He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.

9. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.

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

11. the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

12. Extol the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion.

13. He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you.

14. He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.

15. He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.

16. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.
