Read the passage

Psalm 147:3

World English Bible

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

What was happening around this

The psalmist praises Yahweh, who builds up Jerusalem and gathers Israel’s outcasts. Healing broken hearts is part of that praise rather than a promise made on its own.
