Psalms 147
1 Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
| הַלְלוּ יָהּ ׀ כִּי־טוֹב זַמְּרָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּֽי־נָעִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּֽה׃ |
2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel;
| בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יְהוָה נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּֽס׃ |
3 Who healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
| הָרֹפֵא לִשְׁבוּרֵי לֵב וּמְחַבֵּשׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם׃ |
4 He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names.
| מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִים לְכֻלָּם שֵׁמוֹת יִקְרָֽא׃ |
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
| גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב־כֹּחַ לִתְבוּנָתוֹ אֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃ |
6 The LORD upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
| מְעוֹדֵד עֲנָוִים יְהוָה מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
| עֱנוּ לַיהוָה בְּתוֹדָה זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְכִנּֽוֹר׃ |
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.
| הַֽמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם ׀ בְּעָבִים הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר הַמַּצְמִיחַ הָרִים חָצִֽיר׃ |
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
| נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃ |
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
| לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ לֹֽא־בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃ |
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that wait for His mercy.
| רוֹצֶה יְהוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָיו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
12 Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
| שַׁבְּחִי יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶת־יְהוָה הַֽלְלִי אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּֽוֹן׃ |
13 For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.
| כִּֽי־חִזַּק בְּרִיחֵי שְׁעָרָיִךְ בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃ |
14 He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.
| הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם חֵלֶב חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃ |
15 He sendeth out His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.
| הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ עַד־מְהֵרָה יָרוּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ׃ |
16 He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
| הַנֹּתֵן שֶׁלֶג כַּצָּמֶר כְּפוֹר כָּאֵפֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃ |
17 He casteth forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold?
| מַשְׁלִיךְ קַֽרְחוֹ כְפִתִּים לִפְנֵי קָרָתוֹ מִי יַעֲמֹֽד׃ |
18 He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
| יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃ |
19 He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.
| מַגִּיד דברו דְּבָרָיו לְיַעֲקֹב חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Hallelujah.
| לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן ׀ לְכָל־גּוֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל־יְדָעוּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
