Psalms 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.

Psalms Chapter 147

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.

Psalms Chapter 147

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.

Psalms Chapter 147

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.

Psalms Chapter 147

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.

Psalms Chapter 147

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!
