| Chapter 147 |
1 |
Praise ye Jah! For it is good to praise our God, For pleasant -- comely is praise. |
2 |
Building Jerusalem is Yehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth. |
3 |
Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs. |
4 |
Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names. |
5 |
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration. |
6 |
Yehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth. |
7 |
Answer ye to Yehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp. |
8 |
Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up on mountains, |
9 |
Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call. |
10 |
Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased. |
11 |
Yehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness. |
12 |
Glorify, O Jerusalem, Yehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion. |
13 |
For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst. |
14 |
Who is making thy border peace, With the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee. |
15 |
Who is sending forth His saying on earth, Very speedily doth His word run. |
16 |
Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth. |
17 |
Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand? |
18 |
He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow -- the waters flow. |
19 |
Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel. |
20 |
He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah! |
