Salmi 147

BIBBIA TINTORI	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Loda il Signore, o Gerusalemme, loda il tuo Dio, o Sionne.	1 Hallelujah! How good to celebrate our God in song; how sweet to give fitting praise.
2 Perchè Egli ha rafforzate le sbarre delle tue porte, ha benedetti in te i tuoi figlioli.	2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem, gathers the dispersed of Israel,
3 Egli ha messa ai tuoi confini la pace e ti pasce di fior di frumento.	3 Heals the brokenhearted, binds up their wounds,
4 Egli manda i suoi ordini alla terra, e la sua parola corre veloce.	4 Numbers all the stars, calls each of them by name.
5 Fa cader la neve come fiocchi di lana, sparge la nebbia come cenere.	5 Great is our Lord, vast in power, with wisdom beyond measure.
6 Lancia il suo ghiaccio a pezzetti: chi può resistere al suo gelo?	6 The LORD sustains the poor, but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Manda il suo ordine e fa liquefare il ghiaccio, fa soffiare il suo vento e scorrono le acque.	7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; with the lyre celebrate our God,
8 Egli annunzia la sua parola a Giacobbe, le sue leggi e i suoi decreti a Israele.	8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, makes grass sprout on the mountains,
9 A nessun altro popolo fece altrettanto, a nessun altro manifestò i suoi giudizi. Alleluia.	9 Who gives animals their food and ravens what they cry for.
	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!
