Psalms 147

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh -- it is good to sing psalms to our God -- how pleasant to praise him.	1 Alleluja. Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum ; lauda Deum tuum, Sion.
2 Yahweh, Builder of Jerusalem! He gathers together the exiles of Israel,	2 Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum ; benedixit filiis tuis in te.
3 healing the broken-hearted and binding up their wounds;	3 Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe frumenti satiat te.
4 he counts out the number of the stars, and gives each one of them a name.	4 Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ : velociter currit sermo ejus.
5 Our Lord is great, al -powerful, his wisdom beyond al telling.	5 Qui dat nivem sicut lanam ; nebulam sicut cinerem spargit.
6 Yahweh sustains the poor, and humbles the wicked to the ground.	6 Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas : ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit ?
7 Sing to Yahweh in thanksgiving, play the harp for our God.	7 Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea ; flabit spiritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.
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 Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, justitias et judicia sua Israël.
9 gives fodder to cattle and to young ravens when they cry.	9 Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et judicia sua non manifestavit eis. Alleluja.
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.
