< Psalms 147 >

1 Praise ye Jehovah, for it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ، فَإِنَّ التَّرَنُّمَ لإِلَهِنَا طَيِّبٌ، وَتَسْبِيحُهُ مُلِذٌّ وَلائِقٌ.١
2 Jehovah builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
يَبْنِي الرَّبُّ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَيَجْمَعُ شَمْلَ الْمَنْفِيِّينَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٢
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
إِنَّهُ يَشْفِي مُنْكَسِرِي الْقَلْبِ وَيُضَمِّدُ جِرَاحَهُمْ.٣
4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by names.
يُحْصِي عَدَدَ الْكَوَاكِبِ وَيَدْعُوهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَسْمَائِهَا.٤
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
عَظِيمٌ هُوَ سَيِّدُنَا، وَفَائِقَةٌ هِيَ قُوَّتُهُ، وَلَا حَدَّ لِحِكْمَتِهِ.٥
6 Jehovah upholds the meek. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
يَرْفَعُ الرَّبُّ الْوُدَعَاءَ، وَيَطْرَحُ الأَشْرَارَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ.٦
7 Sing to Jehovah with thanksgiving. Sing praises upon the harp to our God,
رُدُّوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ بِحَمْدٍ، رَنِّمُوا لإِلَهِنَا عَلَى الْعُودِ.٧
8 who covers the heavens with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
فَهُوَ يَكْسُو السَّمَاوَاتِ سَحَاباً وَيُمْطِرُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَيُنْبِتُ الْعُشْبَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ.٨
9 He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
يَهَبُ الطَّعَامَ لِلْبَهَائِمِ، وَلِفِرَاخِ الْغِرْبَانِ النَّاعِقَةِ.٩
10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
لَا تَسْتَهْوِيهِ قُوَّةُ الْخَيْلِ، وَلَا تَسُرُّهُ سَاقَا الْعَدَّاءِ.١٠
11 Jehovah takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
إِنَّمَا يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ بِخَائِفِيهِ، الرَّاجِينَ رَحْمَتَهُ.١١
12 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem. Praise thy God, O Zion.
مَجِّدِي الرَّبَّ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَسَبِّحِي إِلَهَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ.١٢
13 For he has strengthened the bars of thy gates. He has blessed thy sons within thee.
فَإِنَّهُ ثَبَّتَ عَوَارِضَ أَبْوَابِكِ (فِي وَجْهِ الأَعْدَاءِ)، وَبَارَكَ بَنِيكِ فِي دَاخِلِكِ.١٣
14 He makes peace in thy borders. He fills thee with the finest of the wheat.
هُوَ الَّذِي يَجْعَلُ حُدُودَكِ آمِنَةً، وَمِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْحِنْطَةِ يُشْبِعُكِ خُبْزاً.١٤
15 He sends out his commandment upon earth. His word runs very swiftly.
يُصْدِرُ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتُنَفِّذُهُ بِسُرْعَةٍ فَائِقَةٍ.١٥
16 He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.
يَنْثُرُ الثَّلْجَ كَالصُّوفِ، وَيُذَرِّي الْجَلِيدَ كَالرَّمَادِ.١٦
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold?
يُلْقِي بَرَدَهُ كَفُتَاتِ الْخُبْزِ. مَنْ يَصْمُدُ فِي وَجْهِ صَقِيعِهِ؟١٧
18 He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
ثُمَّ يُصْدِرُ أَمْرَهُ فَيُذِيبُهَا. يُرْسِلُ رِيحَهُ فَتَسِيلُ الْمِيَاهُ.١٨
19 He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
يُعْلِنُ لِيَعْقُوبَ كَلِمَتَهُ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ فَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ.١٩
20 He has not dealt so with any nation. And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.
لَمْ يُعَامِلْ أُمَّةً أُخْرَى هَكَذَا، وَلَمْ يُعَرِّفْهَا أَحْكَامَهُ هَلِّلُويَا.٢٠
