147 Praise Jah, YOU people,+
For it is good to make melody to our God;+
For it is pleasant—praise is fitting.+
2 Jehovah is building Jerusalem;+
The dispersed ones of Israel he brings together.+
3 He is healing+ the brokenhearted ones,+
And is binding up their painful spots.+
4 He is counting the number of the stars;+
All of them he calls by [their] names.+
5 Our Lord is great and is abundant in power;+
His understanding is beyond recounting.+
6 Jehovah is relieving the meek ones;+
He is abasing the wicked ones to the earth.+
7 Respond to Jehovah with thanksgiving, YOU people;+
Make melody to our God on the harp,+
8 The One who is covering the heavens with clouds,+
The One preparing rain for the earth,+
The One making the mountains to sprout green grass.+
9 To the beasts he is giving their food,+
To the young ravens that keep calling.+
10 Not in the mightiness of the horse does he take delight,+
Nor in the legs of the man does he find pleasure.+
11 Jehovah is finding pleasure in those fearing him,+
In those waiting for his loving-kindness.+
12 Commend Jehovah,+ O Jerusalem.
Praise your God, O Zion.+
13 For he has made the bars of your gates strong;
He has blessed your sons in the midst of you.+
14 He is putting peace in your territory;+
With the fat of the wheat he keeps satisfying you.+
15 He is sending his saying to the earth;+
With speed his word runs.+
16 He is giving snow like wool;+
Hoarfrost he scatters just like ashes.+
17 He is throwing his ice like morsels.+
Before his cold who can stand?+
18 He sends forth his word+ and melts them.
He causes his wind to blow;+
The waters trickle.
19 He is telling his word to Jacob,+
His regulations+ and his judicial decisions to Israel.+
20 He has not done that way to any other nation;+
And as for [his] judicial decisions, they have not known them.+
Praise Jah, YOU people!+
