Psalms 147
Reading Psalms chapter 147 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–9
1 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
2 Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
3 Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
4 Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
5 Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
6 He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
7 He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
8 Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
9 He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
