Psalms 147

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Hallelujah! How good to celebrate our God in song; how sweet to give fitting praise.	1 αλληλουια αγγαιου και ζαχαριου επαινει ιερουσαλημ τον κυριον αινει τον θεον σου σιων
2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem, gathers the dispersed of Israel,	2 οτι ενισχυσεν τους μοχλους των πυλων σου ευλογησεν τους υιους σου εν σοι
3 Heals the brokenhearted, binds up their wounds,	3 ο τιθεις τα ορια σου ειρηνην και στεαρ πυρου εμπιπλων σε
4 Numbers all the stars, calls each of them by name.	4 ο αποστελλων το λογιον αυτου τη γη εως ταχους δραμειται ο λογος αυτου
5 Great is our Lord, vast in power, with wisdom beyond measure.	5 του διδοντος χιονα ωσει εριον ομιχλην ωσει σποδον πασσοντος
6 The LORD sustains the poor, but casts the wicked to the ground.	6 βαλλοντος κρυσταλλον αυτου ωσει ψωμους κατα προσωπον ψυχους αυτου τις υποστησεται
7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; with the lyre celebrate our God,	7 αποστελει τον λογον αυτου και τηξει αυτα πνευσει το πνευμα αυτου και ρυησεται υδατα
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, makes grass sprout on the mountains,	8 απαγγελλων τον λογον αυτου τω ιακωβ δικαιωματα και κριματα αυτου τω ισραηλ
9 Who gives animals their food and ravens what they cry for.	9 ουκ εποιησεν ουτως παντι εθνει και τα κριματα αυτου ουκ εδηλωσεν αυτοις
10 God takes no delight in the strength of horses, no pleasure in the runner's stride.
11 Rather the LORD takes pleasure in the devout, those who await his faithful care.
12 Glorify the LORD, Jerusalem; Zion, offer praise to your God,
13 Who has strengthened the bars of your gates, blessed your children within you,
14 Brought peace to your borders, and filled you with finest wheat.
15 The LORD sends a command to earth; his word runs swiftly!
16 Thus snow is spread like wool, frost is scattered like ash,
17 Hail is dispersed like crumbs; before such cold the waters freeze.
18 Again he sends his word and they melt; the wind is unleashed and the waters flow.
19 The LORD also proclaims his word to Jacob, decrees and laws to Israel.
20 God has not done this for other nations; of such laws they know nothing. Hallelujah!
