Psalm 147:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
147 1 The Prophet praiseth the bounty, wisdom, power, justice, and providence of God upon all his creatures. 2 But specially upon his Church, which he gathereth together after their dispersion, 19 Declaring his word and judgment so unto them, as he hath done to none other people.
1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing unto our God: for it is a [a]pleasant thing, and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up [b]Jerusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 He healeth those that are [c]broken in heart, and bindeth up their sores.
