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.
alleluia Aggei et Zacchariae laudate Dominum quoniam bonum psalmus Deo nostro sit iucunda decoraque; laudatio
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
aedificans Hierusalem Dominus dispersiones Israhel congregabit
3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
qui sanat contritos corde et alligat contritiones illorum
4 He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
qui numerat multitudinem stellarum et omnibus eis nomina vocans
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
magnus Dominus noster et magna virtus eius et sapientiae eius non est numerus
6 The LORD upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
suscipiens mansuetos Dominus humilians autem peccatores usque ad terram
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
praecinite Domino in confessione psallite Deo nostro in cithara
8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
qui operit caelum nubibus et parat terrae pluviam qui producit in montibus faenum et herbam servituti hominum
9 He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
et dat iumentis escam ipsorum et pullis corvorum invocantibus eum
10 He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
non in fortitudine equi voluntatem habebit nec in tibiis viri beneplacitum erit ei
11 The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
beneplacitum est Domino super timentes eum et in eis qui sperant super misericordia eius
12 Praise the LORD, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
alleluia lauda Hierusalem Dominum lauda Deum tuum Sion
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum benedixit filiis tuis in te
14 He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
qui posuit fines tuos pacem et adipe frumenti satiat te
15 He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
qui emittit eloquium suum terrae velociter currit sermo eius
16 He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
qui dat nivem sicut lanam nebulam sicut cinerem spargit
17 He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
mittit cristallum suum sicut buccellas ante faciem frigoris eius quis sustinebit
18 He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
emittet verbum suum et liquefaciet ea flabit spiritus eius et fluent aquae
19 He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
qui adnuntiat verbum suum Iacob iustitias et iudicia sua Israhel
20 He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise the LORD!
non fecit taliter omni nationi et iudicia sua non manifestavit eis
