Psalms 147
1 Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
Praise ye Yah, For it is good, to make melody to our GOD, —For it is delightful, seemly is praise!
2 YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, He gathers the driven away of Israel.
Yahweh, is building Jerusalem, The outcasts of Israel, will he gather together.
3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
He is healing the broken in heart, —and binding up their hurts.
4 Appointing the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
Counting the number of the stars, To all of them—names, he giveth.
5 Our Lord [is] great, and abundant in power, There is no narration of His understanding.
Great is our Lord, and of abounding strength, And, his knowledge, cannot be expressed.
6 YHWH is causing the meek to stand, Making the wicked low to the earth.
Yahweh, relieveth the humbled! casting the lawless down to the earth.
7 Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, Sing to our God with a harp.
Respond to Yahweh with thanksgiving, Make melody to our God with the lyre.
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 heavens with clouds, preparing rain for the earth, who causeth the mountains to sprout grass:
9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
Giving, to the beast, its food, to the young ravens, when they cry.
10 He does not delight in the might of the horse, He is not pleased in the legs of a man.
Not in the strength of the horse, doth he delight, Not in the legs of a man, hath he pleasure:
11 YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
Yahweh, hath pleasure, in them who revere him, in them who wait for his lovingkindness.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, Praise your God, O Zion.
Laud thou, O Jerusalem, Yahweh, Praise thy God, O Zion:
13 For He strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your sons in your midst.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy children in thy midst:
14 Who is making your border peace, He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
Who maketh thy boundaries to be peace, With the marrow of wheat, doth he satisfy thee:
15 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, His word runs very speedily.
Who sendeth his utterance to the earth, How swiftly, runneth his word!
16 Who is giving snow like wool, He scatters hoarfrost as ashes.
Who giveth snow like wool, Hoar-frost—like ashes, he scattereth:
17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Who stands before His cold?
Casting forth his ice like crumbs, Before his cold, who can stand?
18 He sends forth His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow—the waters flow.
He sendeth forth his word and melteth them, He causeth his wind to blow, the waters, stream along:
19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
Declaring his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his regulations, unto 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 any nation, and, his regulations, he maketh not known to them. Praise ye Yah!
