赞美上帝复兴耶路撒冷

147 你们要赞美耶和华!
歌颂我们的上帝,真是美好!
赞美祂,真是快乐合宜!
耶和华重建耶路撒冷,
召集被掳去的以色列人。
祂医治心灵破碎的人,
包扎他们的创伤。
祂决定众星的数目,
给它们一一命名。
我们的主伟大无比,充满力量,
祂的智慧没有穷尽。
耶和华扶持谦卑人,
毁灭邪恶人。
你们要以感恩的心歌颂耶和华,
弹琴赞美我们的上帝。
祂以云霞遮蔽天空,
降雨水滋润大地,
使山上长出绿草。
祂赐食物给走兽,
喂养嗷嗷待哺的小乌鸦。
10 耶和华所喜悦的不是强健的马匹,
也不是矫捷的战士,
11 而是敬畏祂、仰望祂慈爱的人。

12 耶路撒冷啊,要颂赞耶和华;
锡安啊,要赞美你的上帝。
13 因为祂使你的城门坚固,
赐福给你的儿女。
14 祂使你四境平安,
饱享上好的麦子。
15 祂向大地发出命令,
祂的话迅速传开。
16 祂降下羊毛般的白雪,
撒下炉灰般的寒霜。
17 祂抛下碎石般的冰雹,
谁能经得住祂降下的严寒呢?
18 祂一声令下,冰雪便溶化,
微风便吹拂,河川便奔流。
19 祂将自己的话传于雅各,
将自己的律例和法令指示以色列。
20 祂未曾这样对待其他国家,
他们不知道祂的律法。
你们要赞美耶和华!

147 你 們 要 讚 美 耶 和 華 ! 因 歌 頌 我 們 的 神 為 善 為 美 ; 讚 美 的 話 是 合 宜 的 。

耶 和 華 建 造 耶 路 撒 冷 , 聚 集 以 色 列 中 被 趕 散 的 人 。

他 醫 好 傷 心 的 人 , 裹 好 他 們 的 傷 處 。

他 數 點 星 宿 的 數 目 , 一 一 稱 他 的 名 。

我 們 的 主 為 大 , 最 有 能 力 ; 他 的 智 慧 無 法 測 度 。

耶 和 華 扶 持 謙 卑 人 , 將 惡 人 傾 覆 於 地 。

你 們 要 以 感 謝 向 耶 和 華 歌 唱 , 用 琴 向 我 們 的 神 歌 頌 。

他 用 雲 遮 天 , 為 地 降 雨 , 使 草 生 長 在 山 上 。

他 賜 食 給 走 獸 和 啼 叫 的 小 烏 鴉 。

10 他 不 喜 悅 馬 的 力 大 , 不 喜 愛 人 的 腿 快 。

11 耶 和 華 喜 愛 敬 畏 他 和 盼 望 他 慈 愛 的 人 。

12 耶 路 撒 冷 啊 , 你 要 頌 讚 耶 和 華 ! 錫 安 哪 , 你 要 讚 美 你 的 神 !

13 因 為 他 堅 固 了 你 的 門 閂 , 賜 福 給 你 中 間 的 兒 女 。

14 他 使 你 境 內 平 安 , 用 上 好 的 麥 子 使 你 滿 足 。

15 他 發 命 在 地 ; 他 的 話 頒 行 最 快 。

16 他 降 雪 如 羊 毛 , 撒 霜 如 爐 灰 。

17 他 擲 下 冰 雹 如 碎 渣 ; 他 發 出 寒 冷 , 誰 能 當 得 起 呢 ?

18 他 一 出 令 , 這 些 就 都 消 化 ; 他 使 風 颳 起 , 水 便 流 動 。

19 他 將 他 的 道 指 示 雅 各 , 將 他 的 律 例 典 章 指 示 以 色 列 。

20 別 國 他 都 沒 有 這 樣 待 過 ; 至 於 他 的 典 章 , 他 們 向 來 沒 有 知 道 。 你 們 要 讚 美 耶 和 華 !

Psalm 147

Praise the Lord.[a]

How good it is to sing praises to our God,
    how pleasant(A) and fitting to praise him!(B)

The Lord builds up Jerusalem;(C)
    he gathers the exiles(D) of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted(E)
    and binds up their wounds.(F)
He determines the number of the stars(G)
    and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord(H) and mighty in power;(I)
    his understanding has no limit.(J)
The Lord sustains the humble(K)
    but casts the wicked(L) to the ground.

Sing to the Lord(M) with grateful praise;(N)
    make music(O) to our God on the harp.(P)

He covers the sky with clouds;(Q)
    he supplies the earth with rain(R)
    and makes grass grow(S) on the hills.
He provides food(T) for the cattle
    and for the young ravens(U) when they call.

10 His pleasure is not in the strength(V) of the horse,(W)
    nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
11 the Lord delights(X) in those who fear him,(Y)
    who put their hope(Z) in his unfailing love.(AA)

12 Extol the Lord, Jerusalem;(AB)
    praise your God, Zion.

13 He strengthens the bars of your gates(AC)
    and blesses your people(AD) within you.
14 He grants peace(AE) to your borders
    and satisfies you(AF) with the finest of wheat.(AG)

15 He sends his command(AH) to the earth;
    his word runs(AI) swiftly.
16 He spreads the snow(AJ) like wool
    and scatters the frost(AK) like ashes.
17 He hurls down his hail(AL) like pebbles.
    Who can withstand his icy blast?
18 He sends his word(AM) and melts them;
    he stirs up his breezes,(AN) and the waters flow.

19 He has revealed his word(AO) to Jacob,(AP)
    his laws and decrees(AQ) to Israel.
20 He has done this for no other nation;(AR)
    they do not know(AS) his laws.[b]

Praise the Lord.(AT)

Praise to God for His Word and Providence

147 Praise[a] the Lord!
For (A)it is good to sing praises to our God;
(B)For it is pleasant, and (C)praise is beautiful.

The Lord (D)builds up Jerusalem;
(E)He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
(F)He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their [b]wounds.
(G)He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.
(H)Great is our Lord, and (I)mighty in power;
(J)His understanding is infinite.
(K)The Lord lifts up the humble;
He casts the wicked down to the ground.

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
Sing praises on the harp to our God,
(L)Who covers the heavens with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the earth,
Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
(M)He gives to the beast its food,
And (N)to the young ravens that cry.

10 (O)He does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His mercy.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!
Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your children within you.
14 (P)He makes peace in your borders,
And (Q)fills you with [c]the finest wheat.

15 (R)He sends out His command to the earth;
His word runs very swiftly.
16 (S)He gives snow like wool;
He scatters the frost like ashes;
17 He casts out His hail like [d]morsels;
Who can stand before His cold?
18 (T)He sends out His word and melts them;
He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

19 (U)He declares His word to Jacob,
(V)His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 (W)He has not dealt thus with any nation;
And as for His judgments, they have not known them.

[e]Praise the Lord!

Psalm 147[a]

God’s Word Restores Jerusalem

Hallelujah!

I

How good to sing praise to our God;
    how pleasant to give fitting praise.(A)
The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem,
    and gathers the dispersed of Israel,(B)
Healing the brokenhearted,
    and binding up their wounds.(C)
He numbers the stars,
    and gives to all of them their names.(D)
Great is our Lord, vast in power,
    with wisdom beyond measure.(E)
The Lord gives aid to the poor,
    but casts the wicked to the ground.(F)

II

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;
    with the lyre make music to our God,(G)
[b]Who covers the heavens with clouds,
    provides rain for the earth,
    makes grass sprout on the mountains,(H)
Who gives animals their food
    and young ravens what they cry for.(I)
10 [c]He takes no delight in the strength of horses,
    no pleasure in the runner’s stride.(J)
11 Rather the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
    those who put their hope in his mercy.

III

12 Glorify the Lord, Jerusalem;
    Zion, offer praise to your God,
13 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates,
    blessed your children within you.(K)
14 He brings peace to your borders,
    and satisfies you with finest wheat.(L)
15 [d]He sends his command to earth;
    his word runs swiftly!(M)
16 Thus he makes the snow like wool,
    and spreads the frost like ash;(N)
17 He disperses hail like crumbs.
    Who can withstand his cold?
18 Yet when again he issues his command, it melts them;
    he raises his winds and the waters flow.
19 He proclaims his word to Jacob,
    his statutes and laws to Israel.(O)
20 He has not done this for any other nation;
    of such laws they know nothing.
Hallelujah!

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 147 The hymn is divided into three sections by the calls to praise in Ps 147:1, 7, 12. The first section praises the powerful creator who restores exiled Judah (Ps 147:1–6); the second section, the creator who provides food to animals and human beings; the third and climactic section exhorts the holy city to recognize it has been re-created and made the place of disclosure for God’s word, a word as life-giving as water.
  2. 147:8–9 God clothes the fields and feeds the birds, cf. Mt 6:26, 30.
  3. 147:10–11 Acknowledging one’s dependence upon God rather than claiming self-sufficiency pleases God, cf. Ps 20:8; 33:16–19.
  4. 147:15–19 God speaks through the thunder of nature and the word of revealed law, cf. Is 55:10–11. The weather phenomena are well known in Jerusalem: a blizzard of snow and hail followed by a thunderstorm that melts the ice.
