CXLVII

Praise for Jerusalem’s Restoration and Prosperity


[1]	PRAISE 1 ye Jehovah; For 2 it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
[2]	Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
[3]	He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds. 3
[4]	He counteth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.
[5]	Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
[6]	Jehovah upholdeth the meek: He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
[7]	Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,
[8]	Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
[9]	He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry.
[10]	He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
[11]	Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those that hope in his lovingkindness.
[12]	Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.
[13]	For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.
[14]	He maketh peace 4 in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest 5 of the wheat.
[15]	He sendeth out his commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.
[16]	He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
[17]	He casteth forth his ice like morsels: Who can stand before his cold?
[18]	He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters to flow.
[19]	He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.
[20]	He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise 6 ye Jehovah.
