Psalms 147

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion.	1 ALLELUIA. Laudate Dominum, quoniam bonum est psallere Deo nostro, quoniam iucundum est celebrare laudem.
2 For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.	2 Aedificans Ierusalem Dominus, dispersos Israelis congregabit.
3 He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.	3 Qui sanat contritos corde et alligat plagas eorum;
4 He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.	4 qui numerat multitudinem stellarum et omnibus eis nomina vocat.
5 He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.	5 Magnus Dominus noster et magnus virtute, sapientiae eius non est numerus.
6 He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?	6 Sustentat mansuetos Dominus, humilians autem peccatores usque ad terram.
7 He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.	7 Praecinite Domino in confessione, psallite Deo nostro in cithara.
8 He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.	8 Qui operit caelum nubibus et parat terrae pluviam. Qui producit in montibus fenum et herbam servituti hominum.
9 He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.	9 Qui dat iumentis escam ipsorum et pullis corvorum invocantibus eum.
	10 Non in fortitudine equi delectatur, nec in tibiis viri beneplacitum est ei.
	11 Beneplacitum est Domino super timentes eum et in eis, qui sperant super misericordia eius.
	12 Lauda, Ierusalem, Dominum; collauda Deum tuum, Sion.
	13 Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum, benedixit filiis tuis in te.
	14 Qui ponit fines tuos pacem et adipe frumenti satiat te.
	15 Qui emittit eloquium suum terrae, velociter currit verbum eius.
	16 Qui dat nivem sicut lanam, pruinam sicut cinerem spargit.
	17 Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas; ante faciem frigoris eius quis sustinebit?
	18 Emittet verbum suum et liquefaciet ea, flabit spiritus eius, et fluent aquae.
	19 Qui annuntiat verbum suum Iacob, iustitias et iudicia sua Israel.
	20 Non fecit taliter omni nationi et iudicia sua non manifestavit eis. ALLELUIA.
