Psalms 147
1 Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.
2 YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, He gathers the driven away of Israel.
The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
4 Appointing the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.
5 Our Lord [is] great, and abundant in power, There is no narration of His understanding.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.
6 YHWH is causing the meek to stand, Making the wicked low to the earth.
The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
7 Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, Sing to our God with a harp.
Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
8 Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing rain for the earth, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 He does not delight in the might of the horse, He is not pleased in the legs of a man.
He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, Praise your God, O Zion.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
13 For He strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your sons in your midst.
Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 Who is making your border peace, He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
15 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, His word runs very speedily.
Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
16 Who is giving snow like wool, He scatters hoarfrost as ashes.
Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Who stands before His cold?
He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
18 He sends forth His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow—the waters flow.
He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 He has not done so to any nation, As for judgments, they have not known them. Praise YAH!
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
