Psalms 147
1 Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
| הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ כִּי־טֹ֖וב זַמְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ כִּֽי־נָ֝עִים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃ |
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
| בֹּונֵ֣ה יְרוּשָׁלַ֣͏ִם יְהוָ֑ה נִדְחֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל יְכַנֵּֽס׃ |
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
| הָ֭רֹפֵא לִשְׁב֣וּרֵי לֵ֑ב וּ֝מְחַבֵּ֗שׁ לְעַצְּבֹותָֽם׃ |
4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
| מֹונֶ֣ה מִ֭סְפָּר לַכֹּוכָבִ֑ים לְ֝כֻלָּ֗ם שֵׁמֹ֥ות יִקְרָֽא׃ |
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
| גָּדֹ֣ול אֲדֹונֵ֣ינוּ וְרַב־כֹּ֑חַ לִ֝תְבוּנָתֹ֗ו אֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃ |
6 The LORD upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
| מְעֹודֵ֣ד עֲנָוִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה מַשְׁפִּ֖יל רְשָׁעִ֣ים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
| עֱנ֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּתֹודָ֑ה זַמְּר֖וּ לֵאלֹהֵ֣ינוּ בְכִנֹּֽור׃ |
8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
| הַֽמְכַסֶּ֬ה שָׁמַ֨יִם ׀ בְּעָבִ֗ים הַמֵּכִ֣ין לָאָ֣רֶץ מָטָ֑ר הַמַּצְמִ֖יחַ הָרִ֣ים חָצִֽיר׃ |
9 He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
| נֹותֵ֣ן לִבְהֵמָ֣ה לַחְמָ֑הּ לִבְנֵ֥י עֹ֝רֵ֗ב אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃ |
10 He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
| לֹ֤א בִגְבוּרַ֣ת הַסּ֣וּס יֶחְפָּ֑ץ לֹֽא־בְשֹׁוקֵ֖י הָאִ֣ישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃ |
11 The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
| רֹוצֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָ֑יו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
12 Praise the LORD, Jerusalem. Praise your God, Zion.
| שַׁבְּחִ֣י יְ֭רוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה הַֽלְלִ֖י אֱלֹהַ֣יִךְ צִיֹּֽון׃ |
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
| כִּֽי־חִ֭זַּק בְּרִיחֵ֣י שְׁעָרָ֑יִךְ בֵּרַ֖ךְ בָּנַ֣יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃ |
14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
| הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵ֥ךְ שָׁלֹ֑ום חֵ֥לֶב חִ֝טִּ֗ים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃ |
15 He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
| הַשֹּׁלֵ֣חַ אִמְרָתֹ֣ו אָ֑רֶץ עַד־מְ֝הֵרָ֗ה יָר֥וּץ דְּבָרֹֽו׃ |
16 He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
| הַנֹּתֵ֣ן שֶׁ֣לֶג כַּצָּ֑מֶר כְּ֝פֹ֗ור כָּאֵ֥פֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃ |
17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
| מַשְׁלִ֣יךְ קַֽרְחֹ֣ו כְפִתִּ֑ים לִפְנֵ֥י קָ֝רָתֹ֗ו מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃ |
18 He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
| יִשְׁלַ֣ח דְּבָרֹ֣ו וְיַמְסֵ֑ם יַשֵּׁ֥ב ר֝וּחֹ֗ו יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃ |
19 He shows his word to Jacob; his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
| מַגִּ֣יד דְּבָרֹו (דְּבָרָ֣יו) לְיַעֲקֹ֑ב חֻקָּ֥יו וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטָ֗יו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
20 He has not done this for just any nation. They do not know his ordinances. Praise the LORD.
| לֹ֘א עָ֤שָׂה כֵ֨ן ׀ לְכָל־גֹּ֗וי וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֥ים בַּל־יְדָע֗וּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
