Psalm 147

Psalm 147 is one of the five Hallelujah Psalms that begin and end with that call to "Praise the Lord"  (Hallelu - praise ye, Yah - the LORD).   God is extolled for healing the brokenhearted and binding up wounds, particularly of Israel after the exile.  In this hymn of praise in three stanzas (vs 1-6, 7-11, 12-20),  God has revealed Himself, His Power and Wisdom, through Creation and His word; and His people are exhorted to respond in praise and thanksgiving.
