Psalms 147 from Scroll 4Q86 Psalmsd 1 Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; it is fitting to praise our God,
2 Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. [..] 13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you. 14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat. 15 He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly. 16 He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes. 17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold? [..] 20 He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!
