| Chapter 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! --
