Psalm 147 – Praise the LORD for His Power and Provision
God who names every star also heals broken hearts and feeds the ravens.
Psalm 147 praises the LORD for rebuilding Jerusalem and gathering Israel's outcasts, continuing the praise begun in Psalms 146. Psalms 147:3 declares that he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
It is wel plesaunt to the Lord on men that dreden hym; and in hem that hopen on his mercy.
Jerusalem, herie thou the Lord; Syon, herie thou thi God.
For he hath coumfortid the lockis of thi yatis; he hath blessid thi sones in thee.
Which hath set thi coostis pees; and fillith thee with the fatnesse of wheete.
Which sendith out his speche to the erthe; his word renneth swiftli.
Which yyueth snow as wolle; spredith abrood a cloude as aische.
He sendith his cristal as mussels; who schal suffre bifore the face of his cooldnesse?
He schal sende out his word, and schal melte tho; his spirit schal blowe, and watris schulen flowe.
Which tellith his word to Jacob; and hise riytfulnessis and domes to Israel. He dide not so to ech nacioun; and he schewide not hise domes to hem.
