^{Psalm 147, 1-12}

¹Praise the Lord! How good it is to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting.
²The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
³He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.
⁴He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.
⁵Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.
⁶The Lord lifts up the downtrodden; he casts the wicked to the ground.
⁷Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre.
⁸He covers the heavens with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, makes grass grow on the hills.
⁹He gives to the animals their food, and to the young ravens when they cry.
¹⁰His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the speed of a runner;
¹¹but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.
¹²Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
