Mazmur 147
1 Pujilah TUHAN! Sebab baiklah memuji Dia, dan menyenangkan untuk menyanyikan pujian bagi-Nya!
Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
2 TUHAN akan memulihkan Yerusalem; orang-orang buangan akan dibawa-Nya pulang.
YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, He gathers the driven away of Israel.
3 Ia menyembuhkan orang yang patah hati, dan membalut luka-luka mereka.
Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
4 Ia menentukan jumlah bintang di angkasa, dan masing-masing diberi-Nya nama.
Appointing the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
5 Sungguh besar dan hebat TUHAN kita, kebijaksanaan-Nya tidak terhingga.
Our Lord [is] great, and abundant in power, There is no narration of His understanding.
6 Ia menegakkan orang yang tertindas, tetapi orang jahat dicampakkan-Nya ke tanah.
YHWH is causing the meek to stand, Making the wicked low to the earth.
7 Nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi TUHAN, mainkanlah kecapi bagi Allah kita.
Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, Sing to our God with a harp.
8 Dialah yang membentangkan awan di langit; Ia menyediakan hujan bagi bumi, dan membuat rumput tumbuh di bukit.
Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing rain for the earth, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
9 Ia memberi makanan kepada hewan, dan kepada anak burung gagak yang memanggil-manggil.
Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
10 Kesukaan TUHAN bukanlah kuda yang kuat; bukan juga pejuang yang berani.
He does not delight in the might of the horse, He is not pleased in the legs of a man.
11 TUHAN senang kepada orang yang takwa, kepada orang yang tetap mengharapkan kasih-Nya.
YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
12 Pujilah TUHAN, hai Yerusalem! Pujilah Allahmu, hai Sion!
Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, Praise your God, O Zion.
13 Sebab Ia mengukuhkan pintu-pintu gerbangmu, dan memberkati pendudukmu.
For He strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your sons in your midst.
14 Ia menjaga daerahmu supaya tetap aman, dan mengenyangkan engkau dengan gandum yang terbaik.
Who is making your border peace, He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
15 Ia memberi perintah kepada bumi, dan perkataan-Nya segera dilakukan.
Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, His word runs very speedily.
16 Ia menurunkan salju seperti kapas, dan menghamburkan embun beku seperti abu.
Who is giving snow like wool, He scatters hoarfrost as ashes.
17 Ia menurunkan hujan es seperti kerikil; tak ada yang tahan menghadapi dinginnya.
Casting forth His ice like morsels, Who stands before His cold?
18 Lalu atas perintah-Nya es itu mencair; Ia meniupkan angin, maka air pun mengalir.
He sends forth His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow—the waters flow.
19 Ia menyampaikan pesan-Nya kepada umat-Nya, ketetapan dan hukum-Nya kepada umat pilihan-Nya.
Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 Ia tidak berbuat begitu kepada bangsa-bangsa lain, mereka tidak mengenal hukum-hukum-Nya. Pujilah TUHAN!
He has not done so to any nation, As for judgments, they have not known them. Praise YAH!
