Psalm 146:10–147:11

¹⁰The Lord will be King forever.

Jerusalem, your God is everlasting.

Praise the Lord!

Praise God Who Helps His People

147Praise the Lord!

It is good to sing praises to our God;

it is good and pleasant to praise him.

²The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem;

he brings back the captured Israelites.

³He heals the brokenhearted

and bandages their wounds.

⁴He counts the stars

and names each one.

⁵Our Lord is great and very powerful.

There is no limit to what he knows.

⁶The Lord defends the humble,

but he throws the wicked to the ground.

⁷Sing praises to the Lord;

praise our God with harps.

⁸He fills the sky with clouds

and sends rain to the earth

and makes grass grow on the hills.

⁹He gives food to cattle

and to the little birds that call.

¹⁰He is not impressed with the strength of a horse

or with human might.

¹¹The Lord is pleased with those who respect him,

with those who trust his love.
