1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 147

1 The prophet exhorteth to praise God for his care of the Church, 4 his power, 6 and his mercy: 7 to praise him for his providence: 12 to praise him for his blessings upon the Kingdom, 15 for his power over the meteors, 19 and for his ordinances in the Church.

 147:1 ¶ Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—comely [is] praise.

 147:2 Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

 147:3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.

 147:4 Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.

 147:5 Great [is] our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.

 147:6 Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.

 147:7 Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.

 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,

 147:9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

 147:10 Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.

 147:11 Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

 147:12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.

 147:13 For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.

 147:14 Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.

 147:15 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily doth His word run.

 147:16 Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.

 147:17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?

 147:18 He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow—the waters flow.

 147:19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

 147:20 He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
