Psalms 147

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh -- it is good to sing psalms to our God -- how pleasant to praise him.	1 αλληλουια αγγαιου και ζαχαριου επαινει ιερουσαλημ τον κυριον αινει τον θεον σου σιων
2 Yahweh, Builder of Jerusalem! He gathers together the exiles of Israel,	2 οτι ενισχυσεν τους μοχλους των πυλων σου ευλογησεν τους υιους σου εν σοι
3 healing the broken-hearted and binding up their wounds;	3 ο τιθεις τα ορια σου ειρηνην και στεαρ πυρου εμπιπλων σε
4 he counts out the number of the stars, and gives each one of them a name.	4 ο αποστελλων το λογιον αυτου τη γη εως ταχους δραμειται ο λογος αυτου
5 Our Lord is great, al -powerful, his wisdom beyond al telling.	5 του διδοντος χιονα ωσει εριον ομιχλην ωσει σποδον πασσοντος
6 Yahweh sustains the poor, and humbles the wicked to the ground.	6 βαλλοντος κρυσταλλον αυτου ωσει ψωμους κατα προσωπον ψυχους αυτου τις υποστησεται
7 Sing to Yahweh in thanksgiving, play the harp for our God.	7 αποστελει τον λογον αυτου και τηξει αυτα πνευσει το πνευμα αυτου και ρυησεται υδατα
8 He veils the sky with clouds, and provides the earth with rain, makes grass grow on the hills andplants for people to use,	8 απαγγελλων τον λογον αυτου τω ιακωβ δικαιωματα και κριματα αυτου τω ισραηλ
9 gives fodder to cattle and to young ravens when they cry.	9 ουκ εποιησεν ουτως παντι εθνει και τα κριματα αυτου ουκ εδηλωσεν αυτοις
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.
