Mazmur 147
1 Haleluya! Sungguh, bermazmur bagi Allah kita itu baik, bahkan indah, dan layaklah memuji-muji itu.
Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.
2 TUHAN membangun Yerusalem, Ia mengumpulkan orang-orang Israel yang tercerai-berai;
The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Ia menyembuhkan orang-orang yang patah hati dan membalut luka-luka mereka;
Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
4 Ia menentukan jumlah bintang-bintang dan menyebut nama-nama semuanya.
Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.
5 Besarlah Tuhan kita dan berlimpah kekuatan, kebijaksanaan-Nya tak terhingga.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.
6 TUHAN menegakkan kembali orang-orang yang tertindas, tetapi merendahkan orang-orang fasik sampai ke bumi.
The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
7 Bernyanyilah bagi TUHAN dengan nyanyian syukur, bermazmurlah bagi Allah kita dengan kecapi!
Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
8 Dia, yang menutupi langit dengan awan-awan, yang menyediakan hujan bagi bumi, yang membuat gunung-gunung menumbuhkan rumput.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
9 Dia, yang memberi makanan kepada hewan, kepada anak-anak burung gagak, yang memanggil-manggil.
Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 Ia tidak suka kepada kegagahan kuda, Ia tidak senang kepada kaki laki-laki;
He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 TUHAN senang kepada orang-orang yang takut akan Dia, kepada orang-orang yang berharap akan kasih setia-Nya.
The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
12 Megahkanlah TUHAN, hai Yerusalem, pujilah Allahmu, hai Sion!
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
13 Sebab Ia meneguhkan palang pintu gerbangmu, dan memberkati anak-anakmu di antaramu.
Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 Ia memberikan kesejahteraan kepada daerahmu dan mengenyangkan engkau dengan gandum yang terbaik.
Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
15 Ia menyampaikan perintah-Nya ke bumi; dengan segera firman-Nya berlari.
Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
16 Ia menurunkan salju seperti bulu domba dan menghamburkan embun beku seperti abu.
Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
17 Ia melemparkan air batu seperti pecahan-pecahan. Siapakah yang tahan berdiri menghadapi dingin-Nya?
He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
18 Ia menyampaikan firman-Nya, lalu mencairkan semuanya, Ia meniupkan angin-Nya, maka air mengalir.
He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
19 Ia memberitakan firman-Nya kepada Yakub, ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya dan hukum-hukum-Nya kepada Israel.
Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 Ia tidak berbuat demikian kepada segala bangsa, dan hukum-hukum-Nya tidak mereka kenal. Haleluya!
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
