< תהילים 147 >

הַלְלוּ יָהּ ׀ כִּי־טוֹב זַמְּרָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּֽי־נָעִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּֽה׃ 1
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.
בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יְהוָה נִדְחֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יְכַנֵּֽס׃ 2
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; and he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
הָרֹפֵא לִשְׁבוּרֵי לֵב וּמְחַבֵּשׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם׃ 3
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
מוֹנֶה מִסְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִים לְכֻלָּם שֵׁמוֹת יִקְרָֽא׃ 4
He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.
גָּדוֹל אֲדוֹנֵינוּ וְרַב־כֹּחַ לִתְבוּנָתוֹ אֵין מִסְפָּֽר׃ 5
Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.
מְעוֹדֵד עֲנָוִים יְהוָה מַשְׁפִּיל רְשָׁעִים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ 6
The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
עֱנוּ לַיהוָה בְּתוֹדָה זַמְּרוּ לֵאלֹהֵינוּ בְכִנּֽוֹר׃ 7
Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
הַֽמְכַסֶּה שָׁמַיִם ׀ בְּעָבִים הַמֵּכִין לָאָרֶץ מָטָר הַמַּצְמִיחַ הָרִים חָצִֽיר׃ 8
who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men; ]]
נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃ 9
and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ לֹֽא־בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃ 10
He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.
רוֹצֶה יְהוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָיו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃ 11
The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
שַׁבְּחִי יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֶת־יְהוָה הַֽלְלִי אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּֽוֹן׃ 12
Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Sion.
כִּֽי־חִזַּק בְּרִיחֵי שְׁעָרָיִךְ בֵּרַךְ בָּנַיִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃ 13
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵךְ שָׁלוֹם חֵלֶב חִטִּים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃ 14
He makes your borders peaceful, and fills you with the flour of wheat.
הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אִמְרָתוֹ אָרֶץ עַד־מְהֵרָה יָרוּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ׃ 15
He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
הַנֹּתֵן שֶׁלֶג כַּצָּמֶר כְּפוֹר כָּאֵפֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃ 16
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
מַשְׁלִיךְ קַֽרְחוֹ כְפִתִּים לִפְנֵי קָרָתוֹ מִי יַעֲמֹֽד׃ 17
Casting [forth] his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃ 18
He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.
מַגִּיד דברו דְּבָרָיו לְיַעֲקֹב חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 19
He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן ׀ לְכָל־גּוֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל־יְדָעוּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ 20
He has not done so to any [other] nation; and he has not shown them his judgments.
