Psalm 147:2-12

English Standard Version

²The Lord ^(A)builds up Jerusalem;
    he ^(B)gathers the outcasts of Israel.
³He heals ^(C)the brokenhearted
    and ^(D)binds up their wounds.
⁴He ^(E)determines the number of the stars;
    he ^(F)gives to all of them their names.
⁵^(G)Great is our Lord, and ^(H)abundant in power;
    ^(I)his understanding is beyond measure.
⁶The Lord ^(J)lifts up the humble;^[a]
    he casts the wicked to the ground.

⁷^(K)Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
    make melody to our God on ^(L)the lyre!
⁸He covers the heavens with clouds;
    he prepares ^(M)rain for the earth;
    he makes ^(N)grass grow on the hills.
⁹He ^(O)gives to the beasts their food,
    and to ^(P)the young ravens that cry.
¹⁰His delight is not in ^(Q)the strength of the horse,
    nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
¹¹but the Lord ^(R)takes pleasure in those who fear him,
    in those who ^(S)hope in his steadfast love.
