Berean Standard Bible

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

Psalms 147:3

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 147 praises God for rebuilding Jerusalem and gathering the scattered exiles of Israel, which suggests it was written after the return from Babylon. It moves between God's cosmic power, counting and naming the stars, and his tender care for the humble.
