Psalm 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.

⁶Jehovah 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.

¹¹Jehovah 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!
