Psalm 146/147
1 Hallelujah!
How good to sing praise to our God;
how pleasant to give fitting praise.
2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem,
and gathers the dispersed of Israel,
3 Healing the brokenhearted,
and binding up their wounds.
4 He numbers the stars,
and gives to all of them their names.
5 Great is our Lord, vast in power,
with wisdom beyond measure.
6 The LORD gives aid to the poor,
but casts the wicked to the ground.
how pleasant to give fitting praise.

7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
with the lyre make music to our God,
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds,
provides rain for the earth,
makes grass sprout on the mountains,
9 Who gives animals their food
and young ravens what they cry for.
10 He takes no delight in the strength of horses,
no pleasure in the runner’s stride.
11 Rather the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him,
those who put their hope in his mercy.
III
12 Glorify the LORD, Jerusalem;
Zion, offer praise to your God,
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates,
blessed your children within you.
14 He brings peace to your borders,
and satisfies you with finest wheat.
15 He sends his command to earth;
his word runs swiftly!
16 Thus he makes the snow like wool,
and spreads the frost like ash;
17 He disperses hail like crumbs.
Who can withstand his cold?
18 Yet when again he issues his command, it melts them;
he raises his winds and the waters flow.
19 He proclaims his word to Jacob,
his statutes and laws to Israel.
20 He has not done this for any other nation;
of such laws they know nothing.
Hallelujah!
Psalm 146
1 Hallelujah!
2 Praise the LORD, my soul;
I will praise the LORD all my life,
sing praise to my God while I live.
3 Put no trust in princes,
in children of Adam powerless to save.
4 Who breathing his last, returns to the earth;
that day all his planning comes to nothing.
II
5 Blessed the one whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD, his God,
6 The maker of heaven and earth,
the seas and all that is in them,
Who keeps faith forever,
7 secures justice for the oppressed,
who gives bread to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free;
8 the LORD gives sight to the blind.
The LORD raises up those who are bowed down;
the LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD protects the resident alien,
comes to the aid of the orphan and the widow,
but thwarts the way of the wicked.
10 The LORD shall reign forever,
your God, Zion, through all generations!
Hallelujah!
