< Psalms 147 >
1 Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
2 YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, He gathers the driven away of Israel.
3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
4 Appointing the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
5 Our Lord [is] great, and abundant in power, There is no narration of His understanding.
6 YHWH is causing the meek to stand, Making the wicked low to the earth.
7 Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, Sing to our God with a 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,
9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
10 He does not delight in the might of the horse, He is not pleased in the legs of a man.
11 YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, Praise your God, O Zion.
13 For He strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your sons in your midst.
14 Who is making your border peace, He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
15 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, His word runs very speedily.
16 Who is giving snow like wool, He scatters hoarfrost as ashes.
17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Who stands before His cold?
18 He sends forth His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow—the waters flow.
19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 He has not done so to any nation, As for judgments, they have not known them. Praise YAH!
