Psalm 147:2

“The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.”

KJV

Meaning

Restoration follows displacement and communal fracture, emphasizing divine care for a scattered people.

The verse celebrates Israel's restoration in the psalm's own setting; modern political claims require separate ethical and historical evaluation.

Support displaced and uprooted people without turning biblical restoration into a blank check for modern territorial claims.
