Psalm 147 is the 147th psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version, "Praise ye the L ORD: for it is good to sing praises".In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible, and in the Latin Vulgate/Vulgata Clementina, this psalm is divided into Psalm 146 and Psalm 147.
Psalm 146 is the first of five final concluding praise Psalms in the Book of Psalms. [4] These psalms are not attributed to David; in the Septuagint, Psalms 145 (this psalm) to 148 are given the title "of Haggai and Zechariah". [5] Psalms 146 and 147 are seen by some as twin Psalms. [6]

The Hebrew text is correct in counting as one Psalm 146 and Psalm 147.
Psalm 145 is an alphabetic acrostic of 21 verses, each starting with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet arranged alphabetically. This makes Ashrei easy to memorize.
