Psalms 147

NEW JERUSALEM	BIBBIA TINTORI
1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh -- it is good to sing psalms to our God -- how pleasant to praise him.	1 Loda il Signore, o Gerusalemme, loda il tuo Dio, o Sionne.
2 Yahweh, Builder of Jerusalem! He gathers together the exiles of Israel,	2 Perchè Egli ha rafforzate le sbarre delle tue porte, ha benedetti in te i tuoi figlioli.
3 healing the broken-hearted and binding up their wounds;	3 Egli ha messa ai tuoi confini la pace e ti pasce di fior di frumento.
4 he counts out the number of the stars, and gives each one of them a name.	4 Egli manda i suoi ordini alla terra, e la sua parola corre veloce.
5 Our Lord is great, al -powerful, his wisdom beyond al telling.	5 Fa cader la neve come fiocchi di lana, sparge la nebbia come cenere.
6 Yahweh sustains the poor, and humbles the wicked to the ground.	6 Lancia il suo ghiaccio a pezzetti: chi può resistere al suo gelo?
7 Sing to Yahweh in thanksgiving, play the harp for our God.	7 Manda il suo ordine e fa liquefare il ghiaccio, fa soffiare il suo vento e scorrono le acque.
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 Egli annunzia la sua parola a Giacobbe, le sue leggi e i suoi decreti a Israele.
9 gives fodder to cattle and to young ravens when they cry.	9 A nessun altro popolo fece altrettanto, a nessun altro manifestò i suoi giudizi. Alleluia.
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.
