Psalms 147
1 Praise all of you the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
2 The LORD does build up Jerusalem: he gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
Jahve gradi Jeruzalem, sabire raspršene Izraelce.
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
4 He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.
On određuje broj zvijezda, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
6 The LORD lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.
Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
8 Who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.
Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
9 He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse: he takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.
Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit' mu se mile bedra čovječja.
11 The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
Mili su Jahvi oni koji se njega boje, koji se uzdaju u dobrotu njegovu.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.
Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
14 He makes peace in your borders, and fills you with the finest of the wheat.
On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
15 He sends forth his commandment upon earth: his word runs very swiftly.
Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
16 He gives snow like wool: he scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
17 He casts forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
On sipa grÓad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
18 He sends out his word, and melts them: he causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
19 He shows his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise all of you the LORD.
Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
