詩篇 147
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
讚美上帝復興耶路撒冷
147 你們要讚美耶和華!
歌頌我們的上帝,真是美好!
讚美祂,真是快樂合宜!
2 耶和華重建耶路撒冷,
召集被擄去的以色列人。
3 祂醫治心靈破碎的人,
包紮他們的創傷。
4 祂決定眾星的數目,
給它們一一命名。
5 我們的主偉大無比,充滿力量,
祂的智慧沒有窮盡。
6 耶和華扶持謙卑人,
毀滅邪惡人。
7 你們要以感恩的心歌頌耶和華,
彈琴讚美我們的上帝。
8 祂以雲霞遮蔽天空,
降雨水滋潤大地,
使山上長出綠草。
9 祂賜食物給走獸,
餵養嗷嗷待哺的小烏鴉。
10 耶和華所喜悅的不是強健的馬匹,
也不是矯捷的戰士,
11 而是敬畏祂、仰望祂慈愛的人。
12 耶路撒冷啊,要頌讚耶和華;
錫安啊,要讚美你的上帝。
13 因為祂使你的城門堅固,
賜福給你的兒女。
14 祂使你四境平安,
飽享上好的麥子。
15 祂向大地發出命令,
祂的話迅速傳開。
16 祂降下羊毛般的白雪,
撒下爐灰般的寒霜。
17 祂拋下碎石般的冰雹,
誰能經得住祂降下的嚴寒呢?
18 祂一聲令下,冰雪便溶化,
微風便吹拂,河川便奔流。
19 祂將自己的話傳於雅各,
將自己的律例和法令指示以色列。
20 祂未曾這樣對待其他國家,
他們不知道祂的律法。
你們要讚美耶和華!

Praise God Who Helps His People
147 Praise the Lord!
It is good to ·sing praises [make a psalm] to our God;
    it is pleasant and ·good [L fitting] to praise him.
2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem [51:18; 102:16; Is. 64:8–12];
    he ·brings back [gathers; assembles] the ·captured [scattered; dispersed] Israelites [C perhaps a reference to those who returned after the Babylonian exile; Deut. 30:1–4; Is. 11:12].
3 He heals the brokenhearted
    and ·bandages [binds up] their wounds.
4 He ·counts [L measures the number of] the stars
    and ·names [L assigns names to] each one [Is. 40:26].
5 Our Lord is great and very powerful.
    There is no limit to ·what he knows [L his understanding].
6 The Lord ·defends [supports] the ·humble [needy],
    but he throws the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing ·praises [thanksgiving] to the Lord;
    ·praise [make a psalm to] our God with harps.
8 He ·fills [covers] the ·sky [heavens] with clouds
    and ·sends [sets; establishes] rain to the earth
    and makes grass ·grow [sprout] on the ·hills [mountains].
9 He gives food to cattle
    and to the ·little birds [L young ravens] that call.
10 He ·is not impressed with [does not delight in] the strength of a horse,
    nor does he take pleasure in ·human might [L the thighs of a person].
11 The Lord ·is pleased with [takes pleasure in] those who ·respect [fear] him [Prov. 1:7],
    with those who ·trust [wait for; hope in] his ·love [loyalty].
12 Jerusalem, ·praise [celebrate] the Lord;
    ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple], praise your God.
13 He ·makes your city gates strong [L strengthens the bars of your gates]
    and blesses your children ·inside [L within you].
14 He ·brings [sets] peace to your ·country [L boundaries]
    and ·fills [satisfies; satiates] you with the finest ·grain [wheat].
15 He ·gives a command [L sends forth his word] to the earth,
    and ·it quickly obeys him [L his word quickly runs].
16 He ·spreads [L gives] the snow like wool
    and scatters the frost like ashes.
17 He throws down hail like ·rocks [L morsels; bits; pieces].
    No one can stand ·the cold he sends [L before his cold].
18 Then he ·gives a command [L sends forth his word], and it melts.
    He sends the breezes, and the waters flow.
19 He ·gave [announced] his word to Jacob [C another name for Israel],
    his laws [statutes; requirements; ordinances] and ·demands [judgments] to Israel [Ex. 19–24].
20 He didn’t do this for ·any other [L all the] nation.
    They don’t know his ·laws [judgments].
Praise the Lord!

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
Psalm 147
1 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God, for He is gracious and lovely; praise is becoming and appropriate.
2 The Lord is building up Jerusalem; He is gathering together the exiles of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing their pains and their sorrows].(A)
4 He determines and counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord and of great power; His understanding is inexhaustible and boundless.
6 The Lord lifts up the humble and downtrodden; He casts the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises with the harp or the lyre to our God!—
8 Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.
9 He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens that for which they cry.
10 He delights not in the strength of the horse, nor does He take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy and loving-kindness.(B)
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For He has strengthened and made hard the bars of your gates, and He has blessed your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders; He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends forth His commandment to the earth; His word runs very swiftly.
16 He gives [to the earth] snow like [a blanket of] wool; He scatters the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casts forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold?
18 He sends out His word, and melts [ice and snow]; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel.(C)
20 He has not dealt so with any [other] nation; they have not known (understood, appreciated, given heed to, and cherished) His ordinances. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)(D)
