Psalms 147

1Praise ye Jah! For <FI>it is<Fi> good to praise our God, For pleasant--comely <FI>is<Fi> praise.

1Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

2Building Jerusalem <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

2The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

3Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

4Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

4He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

5Great <FI>is<Fi> our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

6Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

6The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

7Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.

7Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

8Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up <FI>on<Fi> mountains,

8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

9Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

10Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

11Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

11The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

12Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.

12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

13For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.

14Who is making thy border peace, <FI>With<Fi> the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.

14He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

15Who is sending forth His saying <FI>on<Fi> earth, Very speedily doth His word run.

15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.

16Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.

16He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

17Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?

17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

18He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow--the waters flow.

18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

19Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

19He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

20He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!

20He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.
