Yahweh frees the prisoners. 146:008 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous. 146:009 Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down. 146:010 Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah! 147:001 Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him. 147:002 Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 147:003 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. 147:004 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. 147:005 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite. 147:006 Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground. 147:007 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God, 147:008 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains. 147:009 He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call. 147:010 He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. 147:011 Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness. 147:012 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion! 147:013 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you. 147:014 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat. 147:015 He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly. 147:016 He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes. 147:017 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold? 147:018 He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 147:019 He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel. 147:020 He has not done this for just any nation. They don't know his ordinances. Praise Yah! 148:001 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights! 148:002 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army! 148:003 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars! 148:004 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens. 148:005 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For he commanded, and they were created. 148:006 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away. 148:007 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths! 148:008 Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word; 148:009 mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;
