< Psalms 147 >
1 Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing vnto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and praise is comely.
2 YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, He gathers the driven away of Israel.
The Lord doth builde vp Ierusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.
4 Appointing the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
He counteth the nomber of the starres, 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: his wisdome is infinite.
6 YHWH is causing the meek to stand, Making the wicked low to the earth.
The Lord relieueth the meeke, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.
7 Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, Sing to our God with a harp.
Sing vnto the Lord with prayse: sing vpon the harpe vnto our God,
8 Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing rain for the earth, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:
9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
Which giueth to beasts their foode, and to the yong rauens that crie.
10 He does not delight in the might of the horse, He is not pleased in the legs of a man.
He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.
11 YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
But the Lord deliteth in them that feare him, and attende vpon his mercie.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, Praise your God, O Zion.
Prayse the Lord, O Ierusalem: prayse thy God, O Zion.
13 For He strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your sons in your midst.
For he hath made the barres of thy gates strong, and hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 Who is making your border peace, He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
He setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the floure of wheate.
15 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, His word runs very speedily.
He sendeth foorth his commandement vpon earth, and his worde runneth very swiftly.
16 Who is giving snow like wool, He scatters hoarfrost as ashes.
He giueth snowe like wooll, and scattereth the hoare frost like ashes.
17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Who stands before His cold?
He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?
18 He sends forth His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow—the waters flow.
He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.
19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.
20 He has not done so to any nation, As for judgments, they have not known them. Praise YAH!
He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
