Psalms 147
1 Praise Yahweh, for it is good to sing praises to our God, it is pleasant, and praise is suitable.
Praise ye the Lord, for it is good to sing vnto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and praise is comely.
2 Yahweh rebuilds Jerusalem, he gathers together the scattered people of Israel.
The Lord doth builde vp Ierusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.
4 He counts the stars, he gives names to all of them.
He counteth the nomber of the starres, and calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord and awesome in power, his understanding cannot be measured.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdome is infinite.
6 Yahweh lifts up the oppressed, he brings the wicked down to the ground.
The Lord relieueth the meeke, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving, sing praises to our God with a harp.
Sing vnto the Lord with prayse: sing vpon the harpe vnto our God,
8 He covers the heavens with clouds and prepares rain for the earth, making the grass to grow on the mountains.
Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:
9 He gives food to the animals and to the young ravens when they cry.
Which giueth to beasts their foode, and to the yong rauens that crie.
10 He finds no delight in the strength of a horse, he takes no pleasure in the strong legs of a man.
He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.
11 Yahweh takes pleasure in those who honor him, who hope in his covenant faithfulness.
But the Lord deliteth in them that feare him, and attende vpon his mercie.
12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, praise your God, Zion.
Prayse the Lord, O Ierusalem: prayse thy God, O Zion.
13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates, he blesses your children among you.
For he hath made the barres of thy gates strong, and hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 He brings prosperity inside your borders, he satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
He setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the floure of wheate.
15 He sends out his commandment to earth, his command runs very swiftly.
He sendeth foorth his commandement vpon earth, and his worde runneth very swiftly.
16 He makes the snow like wool, he scatters the frost like ashes.
He giueth snowe like wooll, and scattereth the hoare frost like ashes.
17 He dispenses the hail like crumbs, who can withstand the cold he sends?
He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?
18 He sends out his command and melts them, he makes the wind to blow and the water to flow.
He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.
19 He proclaimed his word to Jacob, his statutes and his righteous decrees to Israel.
He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.
20 He has not done so with any other nation, and as for his decrees, they do not know them. Praise Yahweh.
He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
