Psalmi 147

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Alleluja. Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum ; lauda Deum tuum, Sion.	1 Al eluia! Praise Yahweh -- it is good to sing psalms to our God -- how pleasant to praise him.
2 Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum ; benedixit filiis tuis in te.	2 Yahweh, Builder of Jerusalem! He gathers together the exiles of Israel,
3 Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe frumenti satiat te.	3 healing the broken-hearted and binding up their wounds;
4 Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ : velociter currit sermo ejus.	4 he counts out the number of the stars, and gives each one of them a name.
5 Qui dat nivem sicut lanam ; nebulam sicut cinerem spargit.	5 Our Lord is great, al -powerful, his wisdom beyond al telling.
6 Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas : ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit ?	6 Yahweh sustains the poor, and humbles the wicked to the ground.
7 Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea ; flabit spiritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.	7 Sing to Yahweh in thanksgiving, play the harp for our God.
8 Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, justitias et judicia sua Israël.	8 He veils the sky with clouds, and provides the earth with rain, makes grass grow on the hills andplants for people to use,
9 Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et judicia sua non manifestavit eis. Alleluja.	9 gives fodder to cattle and to young ravens when they cry.
	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.
