Text -- Psalms 147:4-20 (NET)

Strongs On/Off

Context

147:4 He counts the number of the stars; he names all of them. 147:5 Our Lord is great and has awesome power; there is no limit to his wisdom. 147:6 The Lord lifts up the oppressed, but knocks the wicked to the ground. 147:7 Offer to the Lord a song of thanks! Sing praises to our God to the accompaniment of a harp! 147:8 He covers the sky with clouds, provides the earth with rain, and causes grass to grow on the hillsides. 147:9 He gives food to the animals, and to the young ravens when they chirp. 147:10 He is not enamored with the strength of a horse, nor is he impressed by the warrior’s strong legs. 147:11 The Lord takes delight in his faithful followers, and in those who wait for his loyal love. 147:12 Extol the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 147:13 For he makes the bars of your gates strong. He blesses your children within you. 147:14 He brings peace to your territory. He abundantly provides for you the best grain. 147:15 He sends his command through the earth; swiftly his order reaches its destination. 147:16 He sends the snow that is white like wool; he spreads the frost that is white like ashes. 147:17 He throws his hailstones like crumbs. Who can withstand the cold wind he sends? 147:18 He then orders it all to melt; he breathes on it, and the water flows. 147:19 He proclaims his word to Jacob, his statutes and regulations to Israel. 147:20 He has not done so with any other nation; they are not aware of his regulations. Praise the Lord!
