Psalm 147
1Hallelujah!
It is good to sing psalms to our God.
It is pleasant to sing ⌞his⌟ praise beautifully.
2The Lord is the builder of Jerusalem.
He is the one who gathers the outcasts of Israel together.
3He is the healer of the brokenhearted.
He is the one who bandages their wounds.
4He determines the number of stars.
He gives each one a name.
5Our Lord is great, and his power is great.
There is no limit to his understanding.
6The Lord gives relief to those who are oppressed.
He brings wicked people down to the ground.
7Sing to the Lord a song of thanksgiving.
Make music to our God with a lyre.
8He covers the sky with clouds.
He provides rain for the ground.
He makes grass grow on the mountains.
9He is the one who gives food to animals
and to young ravens when they call out.
10He finds no joy in strong horses,
nor is he pleased by brave soldiers.
11The Lord is pleased with those who fear him,
with those who wait with hope for his mercy.
12Praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Praise your God, Zion!
13He makes the bars across your gates strong.
He blesses the children within you.
14He is the one who brings peace to your borders
and satisfies your ⌞hunger⌟ with the finest wheat.
15He is the one who sends his promise throughout the earth.
His word travels with great speed.
16He is the one who sends snow like wool
and scatters frost like ashes.
17He is the one who throws his hailstones like breadcrumbs.
Who can withstand his chilling blast?
18He sends out his word and melts his hailstones.
He makes wind blow ⌞and⌟ water flow.
19He speaks his word to Jacob,
his laws and judicial decisions to Israel.
20He has done nothing like this for any other nation.
The other nations do not know the decisions he has handed down.
Hallelujah!

Psalms 147
147
1Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant — comely [is] praise.
2Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.
3Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
4Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.
5Great [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.
7Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.
8Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
9Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
10Not 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.
12Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.
13For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.
14Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.
15Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily doth His word run.
16Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.
17Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?
18He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow — the waters flow.
19Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
