Psalm 147

¹Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
²The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
³He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
⁴He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
⁵Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
⁶The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
⁷Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
⁸Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
⁹He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
¹⁰He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
¹¹The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
¹²Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
¹³For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
¹⁴He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
¹⁵He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
¹⁶He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
¹⁷He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
¹⁸He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
¹⁹He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
²⁰He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.

¹⁸Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
¹⁹And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
²⁰And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
²¹That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
²⁶Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
²⁷A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day:
²⁸And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
³²And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.

1Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
²And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
³Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
⁴Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
⁵To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
⁶I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
⁷Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
⁸But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
⁹As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
¹⁰For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
¹¹But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
¹²For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
