Psalms 147:2-12

2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem;[a] He gathers Israel's exiled people.[b]
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.[c]
4 He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.
5 Our Lord is great, vast in power; His understanding is infinite.[d] [e]
6 The Lord helps the afflicted but brings the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; play the lyre to our God,[f]
8 who covers the sky with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, and causes grass to grow on the hills.
9 He provides the animals with their food, and the young ravens, what they cry for.
10 He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; He does not value the power[g] of a man.
11 The Lord values those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His faithful love.[h]
12 Exalt the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion!
