Psalm 147 gives us more things.. more reasons to praise the Lord!

The psalmist tells us that it is "good to sing praises to our God."  It is "pleasant.. and becoming". 

The Lord builds His city, Jerusalem.

He gathers outcasts.

"He heals the brokenhearted."

He binds our wounds. ( v2-3)

The Lord counts the stars.

He gives them names. 

He is "abundant in strength". 

His "understanding is infinite." 

He "supports the afflicted.." and "brings down the wicked," (v4-6)

The Lord makes the clouds, provides the rain, and makes the grass to grow.

He provides food for every animal that exists..( including me!) (v8-9)

Our God is not impressed with strong horses or men.. but "favors those who fear Him."

It is God who strengthens the city, gives peace to a country, provides food for the hungry.

It is God who controls the snow and the ice.. the cold and the wind.  (v 10-18)

It is God who sends forth His word.. to make known His perfect will. (v18)

Father in heaven, we give You praise for You are worthy! Everything.. everything comes from You and You are good.  Your greatness is unsearchable.. unfathomable..incomprehensible!  May our songs of praise be pleasant in Your ear.  We rest in the abundance of Your strength and rejoice in the grace and mercy that You have provided for us.  We are thankful that Your understanding is infinite.. that You see the beginning and the end.. that You are never confused.. never confounded... never mistaken.  We rest in the truth of who You are.  Our God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in lovingkindness!  We praise You, O Lord and exalt Your Name.  Praise the Lord!
