Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 147:1 | Praise Jehovah; for it is good to sing praise to our God; because praise is delightful and becoming. |
| 147:2 | Jehovah builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the outcasts of Israel. |
| 147:3 | He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their sorrows. |
| 147:4 | He appoints the number of the stars; He calls to them all by names. |
| 147:5 | Our Lord is great and of great might; there is no limit to His understanding. |
| 147:6 | Jehovah relieves the meek; He throws the wicked down to the ground. |
| 147:7 | Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing praise on the lyre to our God, |
| 147:8 | who covers the heavens with clouds; who prepares rain for the earth; who makes grass to grow on the mountains. |
| 147:9 | He gives the animals their food, to the young ravens that cry. |
| 147:10 | He takes no delight in the strength of the horse, nor any pleasure in the legs of a man. |
| 147:11 | Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear Him, those who hope in His mercy. |
| 147:12 | Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion. |
| 147:13 | For He has made strong the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons within you. |
| 147:14 | He makes peace in your border, He satisfies you with the fat of the wheat. |
| 147:15 | He sends His command out on the earth; His word runs very swiftly; |
| 147:16 | He gives snow like wool; He scatters the white frost like ashes; |
| 147:17 | He casts out His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold? |
| 147:18 | He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. |
| 147:19 | He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. |
| 147:20 | He has not done so with any nation; and they have not known His judgments. Praise Jehovah! |
