Psalms 147

Our Amazing God
1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
How beautiful it is when we sing our praises to the beautiful God,
for praise makes you lovely before him
and brings him great delight!
2Yahweh builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers up the outcasts and brings them home.
3He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
4He sets his stars in place, calling them all by their names. # 147:4 See Job 9:9; 38:31–33; Isa. 40:26; Amos 5:8.
5How great is our God!
There’s absolutely nothing his power cannot accomplish,
and he has infinite understanding of everything.
6Yahweh supports and strengthens the humble,
but the ungodly will be brought down to the dust.
7Sing out with songs of thanksgiving to the Lord!
Let’s sing our praises with melodies overflowing!
8He fills the sky with clouds, sending showers to water the earth
so that the grass springs up on the mountain fields
and the earth produces food for man. # 147:8 As translated from the Septuagint.
9All the birds and beasts who cry with hunger to him
are fed from his hands.
10His people don’t find security in strong horses,
for horsepower is nothing to him.
Manpower is even less impressive!
11Yahweh shows favor to # 147:11 Or “takes pleasure in,” “delights in,” “sets his affection on,” “enjoys,” “finds pleasing,” “is satisfied with.” those who fear him,
those who wait for his tender embrace. # 147:11 Or “who wait for his loyal, unfailing love.”
12Jerusalem, praise the Lord! Zion, worship your God!
13For he has strengthened the authority of your gates.
He even blesses you with more children.
14He’s the one who brings peace to your borders, # 147:14 The Septuagint reads “He makes peace your borders.”
feeding you the most excellent of fare.
15He sends out his orders throughout the world;
his words run as swift messengers, bringing them to pass.
16He blankets the earth with glistening snow,
painting the landscape with frost.
17Sleet and hail fall from the sky,
causing waters to freeze before winter’s icy blast.
18Then he speaks his word and it all melts away;
as the warm spring winds blow, the streams begin to flow.
19In the same way, he speaks his word to Jacob,
and to Israel he brings his life-giving instruction.
20He has dealt with Israel differently than with any other people,
for they have received his laws.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

1Praise Yah! For it is good to sing praises to our Elohim. For it is pleasant – praise is fitting.
2יהוה builds up Yerushalayim, He gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl –
3He heals the broken-hearted And binds up their wounds.
4He appoints the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
5Great is our Master and mighty in power, There is no limit to His understanding.
6יהוה lifts up the meek ones, He throws the wrong ones down to the ground.
7Respond to יהוה with thanksgiving; Sing praises on a lyre to our Elohim,
8Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to sprout on the mountains,
9Giving to the beast its food, To the young ravens that cry.
10He does not delight in the strength of the horse, He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11יהוה takes pleasure in those who fear Him, In those who wait for His loving-commitment.
12Extol יהוה, O Yerushalayim! Praise your Elohim, O Tsiyon!
13For He has strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your children in your midst,
14Who makes peace in your borders, He satisfies you with the finest wheat;
15Who sends out His command to the earth, His word runs very speedily;
16Who gives snow like wool, He scatters the frost like ashes;
17Throwing out His hail like pieces; Who does stand before His cold?
18He sends out His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow – the waters flow;
19Declaring His Word to Ya‛aqoḇ, His laws and His right-rulings to Yisra’ĕl.#See Rom. 2:20; Rom. 3:2; Rom. 9:4
20He has not done so with any nation; And they have not known His right-rulings! Praise Yah!
