Psalms 147:3 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He healeth the broken in heart - שבורי, the shivered in heart. From the root שבר shabar, to break in pieces, we have our word shiver, to break into splinters, into shivers. The heart broken in pieces by a sense of God's displeasure.
