Psalm 147

“He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name” (4). The same Creator who calls billions of stars by name, makes grass grow, and causes rain to fall (8) is the One who “builds up Jerusalem” (2). Our infinite God is not far off; He “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (3). Full of power and mercy, He does not want us to put our confidence in human strength or weapons of war (horses and warriors, 10), but in His unfailing love.

“Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit” (5). Through Christ, we can go straight to the Source of power, love, and wisdom and find the help we need.
