Psalmi 147
1 Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!

3 On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 On određuje broj zvijezda, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.
5 Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
6 Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
8 Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
9 On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
10 Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit' mu se mile bedra čovječja.
He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
11 Mili su Jahvi oni koji se njega boje, koji se uzdaju u dobrotu njegovu.
The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
12 Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
13 On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
14 On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
15 Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
16 Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
17 On sipa grÓad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?
18 Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
19 Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.
20 Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!
