Psalms 147
1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.
| سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ، فَإِنَّ التَّرَنُّمَ لإِلَهِنَا طَيِّبٌ، وَتَسْبِيحُهُ مُلِذٌّ وَلائِقٌ. | ١ |
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; and he will gather together the dispersed 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 numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.
| يُحْصِي عَدَدَ الْكَوَاكِبِ وَيَدْعُوهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَسْمَائِهَا. | ٤ |
5 Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.
| عَظِيمٌ هُوَ سَيِّدُنَا، وَفَائِقَةٌ هِيَ قُوَّتُهُ، وَلَا حَدَّ لِحِكْمَتِهِ. | ٥ |
6 The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
| يَرْفَعُ الرَّبُّ الْوُدَعَاءَ، وَيَطْرَحُ الأَشْرَارَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٦ |
7 Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
| رُدُّوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ بِحَمْدٍ، رَنِّمُوا لإِلَهِنَا عَلَى الْعُودِ. | ٧ |
8 who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men; ]]
| فَهُوَ يَكْسُو السَّمَاوَاتِ سَحَاباً وَيُمْطِرُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَيُنْبِتُ الْعُشْبَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ. | ٨ |
9 and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
| يَهَبُ الطَّعَامَ لِلْبَهَائِمِ، وَلِفِرَاخِ الْغِرْبَانِ النَّاعِقَةِ. | ٩ |
10 He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.
| لَا تَسْتَهْوِيهِ قُوَّةُ الْخَيْلِ، وَلَا تَسُرُّهُ سَاقَا الْعَدَّاءِ. | ١٠ |
11 The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
| إِنَّمَا يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ بِخَائِفِيهِ، الرَّاجِينَ رَحْمَتَهُ. | ١١ |
12 Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Sion.
| مَجِّدِي الرَّبَّ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَسَبِّحِي إِلَهَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ. | ١٢ |
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
| فَإِنَّهُ ثَبَّتَ عَوَارِضَ أَبْوَابِكِ (فِي وَجْهِ الأَعْدَاءِ)، وَبَارَكَ بَنِيكِ فِي دَاخِلِكِ. | ١٣ |
14 He makes your borders peaceful, and fills you with the flour of wheat.
| هُوَ الَّذِي يَجْعَلُ حُدُودَكِ آمِنَةً، وَمِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْحِنْطَةِ يُشْبِعُكِ خُبْزاً. | ١٤ |
15 He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
| يُصْدِرُ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتُنَفِّذُهُ بِسُرْعَةٍ فَائِقَةٍ. | ١٥ |
16 He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
| يَنْثُرُ الثَّلْجَ كَالصُّوفِ، وَيُذَرِّي الْجَلِيدَ كَالرَّمَادِ. | ١٦ |
17 Casting [forth] his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
| يُلْقِي بَرَدَهُ كَفُتَاتِ الْخُبْزِ. مَنْ يَصْمُدُ فِي وَجْهِ صَقِيعِهِ؟ | ١٧ |
18 He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.
| ثُمَّ يُصْدِرُ أَمْرَهُ فَيُذِيبُهَا. يُرْسِلُ رِيحَهُ فَتَسِيلُ الْمِيَاهُ. | ١٨ |
19 He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgements to Israel.
| يُعْلِنُ لِيَعْقُوبَ كَلِمَتَهُ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ فَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ. | ١٩ |
20 He has not done so to any [other] nation; and he has not shown them his judgements.
| لَمْ يُعَامِلْ أُمَّةً أُخْرَى هَكَذَا، وَلَمْ يُعَرِّفْهَا أَحْكَامَهُ هَلِّلُويَا. | ٢٠ |
