24 September Psalm 147

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds

Psalm 147:3(MSG) He heals the heartbroken and bandages their wounds. Psalm 147:3(AMP) He heals the brokenhearted. And binds up their wounds .

Brokenhearted describes people who are weakened, crushed, or destroyed in spirit. The verb translated as bind up means ‘to inspire with confidence, give hope and courage to, to encourage, to bandage, to dress by covering, wrapping, or binding.’

Isaiah 61:1(AMP) The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed and commissioned me. To bring good news to the humble and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim release to the captives And freedom to prisoners,

Psalms 34:18(ESV) The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. How does Jesus bind up the brokenhearted? 1 Peter 2:24(NLT) He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

I conclude with Psalms 147:3(ESV) He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
