Psalm 147:1-11
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God. 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel. 3 He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows. 4 He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number. 6 The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground. 7 Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument. 8 He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men. 9 He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him. 10 He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man. 11 The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy. Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-9 1 "And now, O Israel, listen to the precepts and judgments which I am teaching to you, so that, by doing these, you may live, and you may enter and possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, will give to you. 5 You know that I have taught you precepts as well as justices, just as the Lord my God has commanded me. And so shall you do in the land that you will possess. 6 And you shall observe and fulfill these in practice. For this is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, so that, upon hearing all these precepts, they may say: 'Lo, a wise and understanding people, a great nation.' 7 Neither is there any other nation so great, which has its gods so near to them, as our God is present to all our petitions. 8 For what other nation is there so renowned as to have ceremonies, and just judgments, and the entire law that I will set forth today before your eyes? 9 And so, guard yourself and your soul carefully. You should not forget the words that your eyes have seen, and do not let them be cut away from your heart, throughout all the days of your life. You shall teach them to your sons and to your grandsons,
