< Psalms 147 >

1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing vnto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and praise is comely.
הַלְלוּ ־ יָהּ ׀ כִּי־טוֹב זַמְּרָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּי־נָעִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּֽה׃
2 The Lord doth builde vp Ierusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.
בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יְהֹוָה נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּֽס׃
3 He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.
הָרֹפֵא לִשְׁבוּרֵי לֵב וּמְחַבֵּשׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם׃
4 He counteth the nomber of the starres, and calleth them all by their names.
מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִים לְכֻלָּם שֵׁמוֹת יִקְרָֽא׃
5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdome is infinite.
גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב־כֹּחַ לִתְבוּנָתוֹ אֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃
6 The Lord relieueth the meeke, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.
מְעוֹדֵד עֲנָוִים יְהֹוָה מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃
7 Sing vnto the Lord with prayse: sing vpon the harpe vnto our God,
עֱנוּ לַֽיהֹוָה בְּתוֹדָה זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְכִנּֽוֹר׃
8 Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:
הַֽמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם ׀ בְּעָבִים הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר הַמַּצְמִיחַ הָרִים חָצִֽיר׃
9 Which giueth to beasts their foode, and to the yong rauens that crie.
נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃
10 He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.
לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ לֹא־בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃
11 But the Lord deliteth in them that feare him, and attende vpon his mercie.
רוֹצֶה יְהֹוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָיו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃
12 Prayse the Lord, O Ierusalem: prayse thy God, O Zion.
שַׁבְּחִי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֶת־יְהֹוָה הַֽלְלִי אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּֽוֹן׃
13 For he hath made the barres of thy gates strong, and hath blessed thy children within thee.
כִּֽי־חִזַּק בְּרִיחֵי שְׁעָרָיִךְ בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃
14 He setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the floure of wheate.
הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם חֵלֶב חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃
15 He sendeth foorth his commandement vpon earth, and his worde runneth very swiftly.
הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ עַד־מְהֵרָה יָרוּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ׃
16 He giueth snowe like wooll, and scattereth the hoare frost like ashes.
הַנֹּתֵן שֶׁלֶג כַּצָּמֶר כְּפוֹר כָּאֵפֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃
17 He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?
מַשְׁלִיךְ קַֽרְחוֹ כְפִתִּים לִפְנֵי קָרָתוֹ מִי יַעֲמֹֽד׃
18 He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.
יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃
19 He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.
מַגִּיד דְּבָרָו לְיַעֲקֹב חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
20 He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן ׀ לְכׇל־גּוֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל־יְדָעוּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
