A couple of verses from Psalms 147 plus commentary on them:
1 - "Hallelujah! Yes, praise the Lord! How good it is to sing His praises! How delightful, and how right!"
4,5 - "He counts the stars and calls them all by name; How great he is! His power is absolute! His understanding is unlimited."
Commentary - "Sometimes we feel as if we don't understand ourselves--what we want, how we feel, what's wrong with us, or what we should do about it. Bud God's understanding is unlimited and therefore he understands us fully. If you feel troubled and don't understand yourself, remember that God understands you perfectly. Take your mind off yourself and focus it on God. Strive to become more and more like him. The more you learn about God and his ways, the better you will understand yourself.
6 - 11 - "He covers the heavens with clouds, sends down the showers and makes the green grass grow in mountain pastures. He feeds the wild animals and the young ravens cry to him for food. The speed of a horse is nothing to him. How puny in his sight is the strength of a man. But his joy is in those who reverence him, those who expect him to be loving and kind."
Commentary - "We spend much of our lives trying to sharpen our skills or increase our strength. There is nothing wrong with doing so and, in fact, each can be used to glorify God. But when we use our skills or strength with no regard for God, they are indeed worth little. It is our trust that God desires. When he has that, he will use our skills and strength in ways far greater than we can imagine."
