स्तोत्रसंहिता 147
1 १ परमेश्वराची स्तुती करा, कारण आमच्या देवाची स्तुती गाणे चांगले आहे; ते आनंददायक आहे व स्तुती करणे उचित आहे.
Praise Yahweh! It is good to sing to praise our God. It is a delightful thing to do and the right thing to do.
[Jerusalem was destroyed, but] Yahweh is [enabling us to] build Jerusalem again. He is bringing back the people who were taken [to Babylonia].
He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again; [it is as though] they have wounds and he bandages them.
He has determined how many stars there will be, and he gives names to all of them.
Yahweh is great and very powerful, and no one can measure how much he understands.
Yahweh lifts up those who have been oppressed, and he throws the wicked down to the ground.
Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him; on the harps, play music to our God.
He covers the sky with clouds, [and then] he sends rain to the earth and causes grass to grow on the hills.
He gives to animals the food that they [need], and gives food to young crows/birds when they cry out [because they are hungry].
He is not pleased with strong horses or with men who can run [MTY] fast.
Instead, what pleases him are those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to continue to faithfully love them.
[You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, praise Yahweh! Praise your God!

He [guards your city] by keeping its gates strong. He blesses the people who live there.

He sends hail down like (pebbles/tiny stones); [when that happens], (it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?) [RHQ]

He sent his message to [the descendants of] Jacob; [he tells to his] Israeli people the laws and regulations that he had decreed.
