Psalm 147

¹ Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant — comely [is] praise.

² Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, 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 Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

⁷ Answer ye to Jehovah 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 Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

¹² Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, 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!
