147:1  Praise ye Hashem: for it is tov to sing praises unto Eloheinu; for it is na’im (pleasant); and tehillah is fitting.
147:2  Hashem is the Boneh Yerushalayim (builder of Jerusalem): He gathereth together the nidkhei Yisroel (the outcasts Of Israel, those of the Golus).
147:3  He is the Rofeh (healer) of the Shevurei-lev (broken in heart), binds up their wounds.
147:4  He determines the mispar of the kokhavim; He calleth them all by their shemot.
147:5  Gadol is Adoneinu, and of rav ko’ach; to His tevunah (understanding, intelligence) there is no mispar (number, limit).
147:6  Hashem lifteth up the anavim (meek ones, humble ones); He casteth the resha’im down to the ground.
147:7  Sing unto Hashem with todah; make music upon the kinnor (harp) unto Eloheinu:
147:8  Who covereth Shomayim with clouds, Who prepareth matar (rainfall) for ha’aretz, HaMatzemi’ach (Who maketh to spring up) the khatzir (grass) upon the harim (hills, mountains).
147:9  He giveth to the behemah her lechem, and to the bnei orev (young ravens) when they cry out.
147:10  He delighteth not in the gevurat hasus: He taketh not pleasure in the shokayim of an ish (legs of a man).
147:11  Hashem taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope in His chesed.
147:12  Praise Hashem, O Yerushalayim; praise thy G-d, O Tziyon.
147:13  For He hath strengthened the bars of thy she’arim (gates); He hath blessed thy banim within thee.
147:14  He granteth shalom within thy borders, and filleth thee with the chelev chittim (the finest of wheat).
147:15  He sendeth forth His imrah (command) upon eretz: His Devar runneth swiftly.
147:16  He giveth sheleg (snow) like tzemer (wool); He scattereth the kfor (frost) like ashes.
147:17  He casteth down His kerach (ice) like crumbs: who can stand before His cold?
147:18  He sendeth out His Devar, and melteth them: He causeth His ruach to blow, and the mayim to flow.
147:19  He declareth His Devar unto Ya’akov, His chukkot and His mishpatim unto Yisroel.
147:20  He hath not dealt so with any Goy (nation): and as for His mishpatim, they have not known them. Praise ye Hashem.
