Not \"inserted by mistake in verse Psalms 14" image: "/images/missing.jpg" url: "https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/147" --- The second of these five Hallelujah Psalms, the EXODUS Psalm. **Praise ye THE LORD.** Hebrew Hallelu-JAH. App-4 . Not "inserted by mistake in verse [Psalms 147:1](../../../kjv/psalms/147/1) instead of in the title", but required here by the Structure. See the Structure. **For.** Not "come into the first line from the second by dittography", but an essential part of the second line, which is repeated by the Figure of speech *Anadiplosis* ( App-6 ) in the third line. The first verse thus *does* contain two lines (beside the "Hallelujah") like all the other verses. **God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 . **The LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . **doth build up Jerusalem** = is Jerusalem's builder (participle). No reference to post-exilic building. Compare [Psalms 122:3](../../../kjv/psalms/122/3) . **gathereth** = will gather. **outcasts** = the driven away. **stars . . . names.** See App-12 . Compare [Isaiah 40:26](../../../kjv/isaiah/40/26) . **names.** The reference is to the knowledge of the "names" in building up the nation of Israel. Compare verses: [Psalms 147:2](../../../kjv/psalms/147/2) ; [Psalms 147:20](../../../kjv/psalms/147/20) with [Exodus 1:7-20](../../../kjv/exodus/1/7-20) ; and verses: Psa 15:19 with [Exodus 20](../../../kjv/exodus/20) . **our LORD.** Hebrew. *'Adonim.* App-4 . Compare [Psalms 135:5](../../../kjv/psalms/135/5) . **of great power** = abounding in power. Compare [Isaiah 40:26](../../../kjv/isaiah/40/26) . **the meek** = meek or humble ones. [Numbers 12:3](../../../kjv/numbers/12/3) . **wicked** = lawless. Hebrew. *rasha.* App-44 . **mountains.** The Septuagint adds "and herb for the service of men". From thence it found its way into the Prayer Book Version. Compare [Psalms 104:14](../../../kjv/psalms/104/14) . Here, the addition is out of place, as "man" is not introduced till [Psalms 147:10](../../../kjv/psalms/147/10) . **He taketh not.** Some codices, with Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "Nor taketh delight". **man.** Hebrew ' *ish* . App-4 . **hope in His mercy** = wait for His lovingkindness. **Praise the LORD.** Not the same word as in [Psalms 147:1](../../../kjv/psalms/147/1) . Used only by David and Solomon. Zion. See App-68 . Zion then still standing. **children** = sons. **peace in thy borders** = thy borders peace. **commandment** = sayings, or utterances. Hebrew. *'imrah.* See App-73 .

See App-73 . **wind.** Hebrew. *ruach,* App-9 . **word.** Some codices, with Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "word". Others read plural. **Jacob . . . Israel.** See notes on [Genesis 32:28](../../../kjv/genesis/32/28) ; Compare Psa 43:6 ; Psa 45:26 , Psa 45:28 . **not dealt so, &c.** The reference is to [Exodus 20](../../../kjv/exodus/20) . Compare [Deuteronomy 4:7](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/4/7) , [Deuteronomy 4:8](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/4/8) ; and see App-15 . **they have not known them.** Septuagint and Vulg, read "He maketh not known to them". ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/147#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 147"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/147#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/147","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 147","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/147#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"The second of these five Hallelujah Psalms, the EXODUS Psalm.
