Psalms 147
1 Praise the Lord, for it's good to sing praises to our God! Praise is wonderful and beautiful!
Haleluya! Sungguh, bermazmur bagi Allah kita itu baik, bahkan indah, dan layaklah memuji-muji itu.
2 The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem, gathering together the people of Israel who have been scattered.
TUHAN membangun Yerusalem, Ia mengumpulkan orang-orang Israel yang tercerai-berai;
3 He heals the broken-hearted, and bandages the wounded.
Ia menyembuhkan orang-orang yang patah hati dan membalut luka-luka mereka;
4 He knows how many stars he made, and commands all of them by name.
Ia menentukan jumlah bintang-bintang dan menyebut nama-nama semuanya.
5 Our Lord is great! His power is immense! There's no limit to what he understands!
Besarlah Tuhan kita dan berlimpah kekuatan, kebijaksanaan-Nya tak terhingga.
6 The Lord helps those who are bowed down to get up; but he grinds the wicked into the ground.
TUHAN menegakkan kembali orang-orang yang tertindas, tetapi merendahkan orang-orang fasik sampai ke bumi.
7 Sing thanks to the Lord! Sing praises to our God with a harp!
Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN dengan nyanyian syukur, bermazmurlah bagi Allah kita dengan kecapi!
8 He covers the sky with clouds to bring rain to the earth, and makes the grass grow on the hills.
Dia, yang menutupi langit dengan awan-awan, yang menyediakan hujan bagi bumi, yang membuat gunung-gunung menumbuhkan rumput.
9 He gives food to the animals, and to the baby ravens when they call.
Dia, yang memberi makanan kepada hewan, kepada anak-anak burung gagak, yang memanggil-manggil.
10 The Lord doesn't appreciate the strength of war-horses or value human power.
Ia tidak suka kepada kegagahan kuda, Ia tidak senang kepada kaki laki-laki;
11 What the Lord values are those who follow him, those who put their confidence in his trustworthy love.
TUHAN senang kepada orang-orang yang takut akan Dia, kepada orang-orang yang berharap akan kasih setia-Nya.
12 Jerusalem, praise the Lord! Zion, praise your God!
Megahkanlah TUHAN, hai Yerusalem, pujilah Allahmu, hai Sion!
13 He makes the bars on your city gates strong, and blesses your children around you.
Sebab Ia meneguhkan palang pintu gerbangmu, dan memberkati anak-anakmu di antaramu.
14 He keeps the borders of your land safe from attack; he provides you with plenty of the finest wheat.
Ia memberikan kesejahteraan kepada daerahmu dan mengenyangkan engkau dengan gandum yang terbaik.
15 He sends his commands around the world—they're quickly implemented.
Ia menyampaikan perintah-Nya ke bumi; dengan segera firman-Nya berlari.
16 He sends snow as white as wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
Ia menurunkan salju seperti bulu domba dan menghamburkan embun beku seperti abu.
17 He throws hail like stones. Who can stand the cold he sends?
Ia melemparkan air batu seperti pecahan-pecahan. Siapakah yang tahan berdiri menghadapi dingin-Nya?
18 Then he sends out his command and it melts; he blows on it and the water flows.
Ia menyampaikan firman-Nya, lalu mencairkan semuanya, Ia meniupkan angin-Nya, maka air mengalir.
19 He proclaims his word to Jacob; his rules and laws to Israel.
Ia memberitakan firman-Nya kepada Yakub, ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya dan hukum-hukum-Nya kepada Israel.
20 He has not done this for any other nation—they don't know his laws. Praise the Lord!
Ia tidak berbuat demikian kepada segala bangsa, dan hukum-hukum-Nya tidak mereka kenal. Haleluya!
