< 詩篇 147 >
1 ヱホバをほめたたへよ われらの神をほめうたふは善ことなり樂しきことなり 稱へまつるはよろしきに適へり
Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!
2 ヱホバはヱルサレムをきづきイスラエルのさすらへる者をあつめたまふ
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 ヱホバは心のくだけたるものを醫しその傷をつつみたまふ
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 ヱホバはもろもろの星の數をかぞへてすべてこれに名をあたへたまふ
He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.
5 われらの主はおほいなりその能力もまた大なりその智慧はきはまりなし
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
6 ヱホバは柔和なるものをささへ惡きものを地にひきおとし給ふ
The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 ヱホバに感謝してうたへ琴にあはせてわれらの神をほめうたヘ
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
8 ヱホバは雲をもて天をおほひ地のために雨をそなへ もろもろの山に草をはえしめ
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
10 ヱホバは馬のちからを喜びたまはず 人の足をよみしたまはず
He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
11 ヱホバはおのれを畏るるものと おのれの憐憫をのぞむものとを好したまふ
The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
12 ヱルサレムよヱホバをほめたたへよ シオンよなんぢの神をほめたたへよ
Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
13 ヱホバはなんぢの門の關木をかたうし 汝のうちなる子輩をさきはひ給ひたればなり
For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
14 ヱホバは汝のすべての境にやはらぎをあたへ いと嘉麥をもて汝をあかしめたまふ
He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
15 ヱホバはそのいましめを地にくだしたまふ その聖言はいとすみやかにはしる
He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
16 ヱホバは雪をひつじの毛のごとくふらせ霜を灰のごとくにまきたまふ
He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
17 ヱホバは氷をつちくれのごとくに擲ちたまふ たれかその寒冷にたふることをえんや
He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?
18 ヱホバ聖言をくだしてこれを消し その風をふかしめたまへばもろもろの水はながる
He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
19 ヱホバはそのみことばをヤコブに示し そのもろもろの律法とその審判とをイスラエルにしめしたまふ
He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.
20 ヱホバはいづれの國をも如此あしらひたまひしにあらず ヱホバのもろもろの審判をかれらはしらざるなり ヱホバをほめたたへよ
He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!
