Psalms 147
1 Praise ye the LORD: for [it is] good to sing praises to our God; for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.
| הַלְלוּ יָהּ ׀ כִּי־טוֹב זַמְּרָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּֽי־נָעִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּֽה׃ |
2 The LORD buildeth up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
| בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יְהוָה נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּֽס׃ |
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
| הָרֹפֵא לִשְׁבוּרֵי לֵב וּמְחַבֵּשׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם׃ |
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by [their] names.
| מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִים לְכֻלָּם שֵׁמוֹת יִקְרָֽא׃ |
5 Great [is] our LORD, and of great power: his understanding [is] infinite.
| גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב־כֹּחַ לִתְבוּנָתוֹ אֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃ |
6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
| מְעוֹדֵד עֲנָוִים יְהוָה מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp to our God:
| עֱנוּ לַיהוָה בְּתוֹדָה זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְכִנּֽוֹר׃ |
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
| הַֽמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם ׀ בְּעָבִים הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר הַמַּצְמִיחַ הָרִים חָצִֽיר׃ |
9 He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young ravens which cry.
| נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃ |
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
| לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ לֹֽא־בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃ |
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
| רוֹצֶה יְהוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָיו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃ |
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
| שַׁבְּחִי יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶת־יְהוָה הַֽלְלִי אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּֽוֹן׃ |
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
| כִּֽי־חִזַּק בְּרִיחֵי שְׁעָרָיִךְ בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃ |
14 He maketh peace [in] thy borders, [and] filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
| הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם חֵלֶב חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃ |
15 He sendeth forth his commandment [upon] earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
| הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ עַד־מְהֵרָה יָרוּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ׃ |
16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
| הַנֹּתֵן שֶׁלֶג כַּצָּמֶר כְּפוֹר כָּאֵפֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃ |
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
| מַשְׁלִיךְ קַֽרְחוֹ כְפִתִּים לִפְנֵי קָרָתוֹ מִי יַעֲמֹֽד׃ |
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
| יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃ |
19 He showeth his word to Jacob, his statutes and his judgments to Israel.
| מַגִּיד דברו דְּבָרָיו לְיַעֲקֹב חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his] judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
| לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן ׀ לְכָל־גּוֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל־יְדָעוּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
