Psalms 147

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion.	1 Alleluja. Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum ; lauda Deum tuum, Sion.
2 For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.	2 Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum ; benedixit filiis tuis in te.
3 He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.	3 Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe frumenti satiat te.
4 He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.	4 Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ : velociter currit sermo ejus.
5 He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.	5 Qui dat nivem sicut lanam ; nebulam sicut cinerem spargit.
6 He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?	6 Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas : ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit ?
7 He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.	7 Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea ; flabit spiritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.
8 He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.	8 Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, justitias et judicia sua Israël.
9 He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.	9 Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et judicia sua non manifestavit eis. Alleluja.
