147:1  Praise Yah. For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant; praise is fitting.
147:2  Yahweh is building Jerusalem; he gathers the scattered ones of Israel.
147:3  He is the one who heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.
147:4  He counts the number of the stars; he gives names to all of them.
147:5  Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is unlimited.
147:6  Yahweh helps the afflicted up; he brings the wicked down to the ground.
147:7  Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving; sing praises to our God with lyre,
147:8  who covers the heavens with clouds, who provides rain for the earth, who causes grass to grow on the mountains.
147:9  He gives to the animal its food, and to the young ravens that cry.
147:10  He does not delight in the strength of the horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of the man.
147:11  Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, the ones who hope for his loyal love.
147:12  Laud Yahweh, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion,
147:13  for he strengthens the bars of your gates. He blesses your children within you;
147:14  he makes your border peaceful; he satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
147:15  He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.
147:16  He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes;
147:17  he throws his hail like crumbs. Who can stand before his cold?
147:18  He sends out his word and melts them; he blows his breath, the water flows.
147:19  He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
147:20  He has not done so for any nation, and they do not know his ordinances. Praise Yah.
