He Heals the Brokenhearted
1 See Ps. 135:1Praise the Lord!
For Ps. 92:1it is good to sing praises to our God;
for Ps. 135:3it is pleasant,147:1 Or for he is beautiful and Ps. 33:1a song of praise is fitting.
2 The LordPs. 51:18;102:16builds up Jerusalem;
he Deut. 30:3;Isa. 11:12;27:13;56:8;Ezek. 39:28gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals Ps. 34:18the brokenhearted
and Ezek. 34:16binds up their wounds.
4 He [Gen. 15:5] determines the number of the stars;
he Isa. 40:26gives to all of them their names.
5 Ps. 48:1Great is our Lord, and Nah. 1:3abundant in power;
Isa. 40:28;[Job 5:9]his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The Lord[Ps. 146:8,9]lifts up the humble;147:6 Or afflicted
he casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Ex. 15:21;[Ps. 95:1,2] Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
make melody to our God on See 1 Chr. 15:16the lyre!
8 He covers the heavens with clouds;
he prepares See Job 5:10rain for the earth;
he makes Ps. 104:14;Job 38:27grass grow on the hills.
9 He Ps. 104:27,28gives to the beasts their food,
and to See Job 38:41the young ravens that cry.
10 His delight is not in Ps. 33:17the strength of the horse,
nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
11 but the LordPs. 149:4takes pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who Ps. 33:18hope in his steadfast love.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For he strengthens Neh. 7:3the bars of your gates;
he blesses your children within you.
14 He Ex. 34:24;Prov. 16:7;Isa. 60:17,18makes peace in your borders;
he Ps. 132:15fills you with the Ps. 81:16;Deut. 32:14finest of the wheat.
15 He [Ps. 148:8]sends out his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
16 He gives Job 37:6snow like wool;
he scatters [Job 38:29]frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his crystals of Job 37:10ice like crumbs;
who can stand before his Job 37:9cold?
18 He ver. 15;[Job 37:12]; See Ps. 33:9;107:20sends out his word, and melts them;
he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.
19 He declares his word to Jacob,
his Mal. 4:4;[Ps. 78:5]; See Deut. 33:2-4statutes and rules147:19 Or and just decrees to Israel.
20 He Deut. 4:7;See Deut. 4:32-34has not dealt thus with any other nation;
they do not know his rules.147:20 Or his just decrees
See Ps. 135:1Praise the Lord!
