< Psalms 147 >
1 Praise Yahweh, for it is good to sing praises to our God, it is pleasant, and praise is suitable.
ヱホバをほめたたへよ われらの神をほめうたふは善ことなり樂しきことなり 稱へまつるはよろしきに適へり
2 Yahweh rebuilds Jerusalem, he gathers together the scattered people of Israel.
ヱホバはヱルサレムをきづきイスラエルのさすらへる者をあつめたまふ
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
ヱホバは心のくだけたるものを醫しその傷をつつみたまふ
4 He counts the stars, he gives names to all of them.
ヱホバはもろもろの星の數をかぞへてすべてこれに名をあたへたまふ
5 Great is our Lord and awesome in power, his understanding cannot be measured.
われらの主はおほいなりその能力もまた大なりその智慧はきはまりなし
6 Yahweh lifts up the oppressed, he brings the wicked down to the ground.
ヱホバは柔和なるものをささへ惡きものを地にひきおとし給ふ
7 Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving, sing praises to our God with a harp.
ヱホバに感謝してうたへ琴にあはせてわれらの神をほめうたヘ
8 He covers the heavens with clouds and prepares rain for the earth, making the grass to grow on the mountains.
ヱホバは雲をもて天をおほひ地のために雨をそなへ もろもろの山に草をはえしめ
9 He gives food to the animals and to the young ravens when they cry.
くひものを獣にあたへ並なく小鴉にあたへたまふ
10 He finds no delight in the strength of a horse, he takes no pleasure in the strong legs of a man.
ヱホバは馬のちからを喜びたまはず 人の足をよみしたまはず
11 Yahweh takes pleasure in those who honor him, who hope in his covenant faithfulness.
ヱホバはおのれを畏るるものと おのれの憐憫をのぞむものとを好したまふ
12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, praise your God, Zion.
ヱルサレムよヱホバをほめたたへよ シオンよなんぢの神をほめたたへよ
13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates, he blesses your children among you.
ヱホバはなんぢの門の關木をかたうし 汝のうちなる子輩をさきはひ給ひたればなり
14 He brings prosperity inside your borders, he satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
ヱホバは汝のすべての境にやはらぎをあたへ いと嘉麥をもて汝をあかしめたまふ
15 He sends out his commandment to earth, his command runs very swiftly.
ヱホバはそのいましめを地にくだしたまふ その聖言はいとすみやかにはしる
16 He makes the snow like wool, he scatters the frost like ashes.
ヱホバは雪をひつじの毛のごとくふらせ霜を灰のごとくにまきたまふ
17 He dispenses the hail like crumbs, who can withstand the cold he sends?
ヱホバは氷をつちくれのごとくに擲ちたまふ たれかその寒冷にたふることをえんや
18 He sends out his command and melts them, he makes the wind to blow and the water to flow.
ヱホバ聖言をくだしてこれを消し その風をふかしめたまへばもろもろの水はながる
19 He proclaimed his word to Jacob, his statutes and his righteous decrees to Israel.
ヱホバはそのみことばをヤコブに示し そのもろもろの律法とその審判とをイスラエルにしめしたまふ
20 He has not done so with any other nation, and as for his decrees, they do not know them. Praise Yahweh.
ヱホバはいづれの國をも如此あしらひたまひしにあらず ヱホバのもろもろの審判をかれらはしらざるなり ヱホバをほめたたへよ
