Chapter 147

Two long stanzas, 11 verses and 9 verses.

1st, Praise the Lord, for all the things he does.  Among them:

4 He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. [Psa 147:4 ESV]

2021 - Interesting.  That would mean that God determined Hubble's Constant.  He knows how much mass was needed to accomplish His purpose - and his time frame - in the universe.  Now that is very interesting.  We all know that God determines all things, but here is a practical way that He may have chosen to set the time limit on mankind.  Maybe it is all going to come crashing back together at the end?

Vs. 5 seems to be a break, a sort of chorus that says "Great is our Lord..."

2nd, God's power over nature - wind, rain, heat and cold.  His protection of Israel, unlike any other nation.  He has chosen them, and it is only them in all the world that are his chosen people.

We are just lucky to get in on the promises to them.
