ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 147

LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 αλληλουια αγγαιου και ζαχαριου επαινει ιερουσαλημ τον κυριον αινει τον θεον σου σιων	1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh -- it is good to sing psalms to our God -- how pleasant to praise him.
2 οτι ενισχυσεν τους μοχλους των πυλων σου ευλογησεν τους υιους σου εν σοι	2 Yahweh, Builder of Jerusalem! He gathers together the exiles of Israel,
3 ο τιθεις τα ορια σου ειρηνην και στεαρ πυρου εμπιπλων σε	3 healing the broken-hearted and binding up their wounds;
4 ο αποστελλων το λογιον αυτου τη γη εως ταχους δραμειται ο λογος αυτου	4 he counts out the number of the stars, and gives each one of them a name.
5 του διδοντος χιονα ωσει εριον ομιχλην ωσει σποδον πασσοντος	5 Our Lord is great, al -powerful, his wisdom beyond al telling.
6 βαλλοντος κρυσταλλον αυτου ωσει ψωμους κατα προσωπον ψυχους αυτου τις υποστησεται	6 Yahweh sustains the poor, and humbles the wicked to the ground.
7 αποστελει τον λογον αυτου και τηξει αυτα πνευσει το πνευμα αυτου και ρυησεται υδατα	7 Sing to Yahweh in thanksgiving, play the harp for our God.
8 απαγγελλων τον λογον αυτου τω ιακωβ δικαιωματα και κριματα αυτου τω ισραηλ	8 He veils the sky with clouds, and provides the earth with rain, makes grass grow on the hills andplants for people to use,
9 ουκ εποιησεν ουτως παντι εθνει και τα κριματα αυτου ουκ εδηλωσεν αυτοις	9 gives fodder to cattle and to young ravens when they cry.
	10 He takes no delight in the power of horses, no pleasure in human sturdiness;
	11 his pleasure is in those who fear him, in those who hope in his faithful love.
	12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, Zion, praise your God.
	13 For he gives strength to the bars of your gates, he blesses your children within you,
	14 he maintains the peace of your frontiers, gives you your fil of finest wheat.
	15 He sends his word to the earth, his command runs quickly,
	16 he spreads the snow like flax, strews hoarfrost like ashes,
	17 he sends ice-crystals like breadcrumbs, and who can withstand that cold?
	18 When he sends his word it thaws them, when he makes his wind blow, the waters are unstopped.
	19 He reveals his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgements to Israel.
	20 For no other nation has he done this, no other has known his judgements.
