Psalms 147: He Heals the Brokenhearted

Psalm 147 calls people to praise Yah, for it is good and pleasant. Yahweh builds up Jerusalem and gathers its outcasts. He heals the broken in heart. He counts the stars and calls them by name. He sends rain, feeds animals, and gives snow and frost. He takes pleasure in those who hope in his loving kindness, and he gives his word to his people.
