147 Halelúja. Það er gott að leika fyrir Guði vorum, því að hann er yndislegur, honum hæfir lofsöngur.

Drottinn endurreisir Jerúsalem, safnar saman hinum tvístruðu af Ísrael.

Hann læknar þá, er hafa sundurkramið hjarta, og bindur um benjar þeirra.

Hann ákveður tölu stjarnanna, kallar þær allar með nafni.

Mikill er Drottinn vor og ríkur að veldi, speki hans er ómælanleg.

Drottinn annast hrjáða, en óguðlega lægir hann að jörðu.

Syngið Drottni með þakklæti, leikið á gígju fyrir Guði vorum.

Hann hylur himininn skýjum, býr regn handa jörðinni, lætur gras spretta á fjöllunum.

Hann gefur skepnunum fóður þeirra, hrafnsungunum, þegar þeir kalla.

10 Hann hefir eigi mætur á styrkleika hestsins, eigi þóknun á fótleggjum mannsins.

11 Drottinn hefir þóknun á þeim er óttast hann, þeim er bíða miskunnar hans.

12 Vegsama Drottin, Jerúsalem, lofa þú Guð þinn, Síon,

13 því að hann hefir gjört sterka slagbrandana fyrir hliðum þínum, blessað börn þín, sem í þér eru.

14 Hann gefur landi þínu frið, seður þig á hinu kjarnbesta hveiti.

15 Hann sendir orð sitt til jarðar, boð hans hleypur með hraða.

16 Hann gefur snjó eins og ull, stráir út hrími sem ösku.

17 Hann sendir hagl sitt sem brauðmola, hver fær staðist frost hans?

18 Hann sendir út orð sitt og lætur ísinn þiðna, lætur vind sinn blása, og vötnin renna.

19 Hann kunngjörði Jakob orð sitt, Ísrael lög sín og ákvæði.

20 Svo hefir hann eigi gjört við neina þjóð, þeim kennir hann ekki ákvæði sín. Halelúja.

Tacksägelse för det goda Herren ger

147 Halleluja!

Det är gott att lovsjunga vår Gud!
    Lovsången är skön och ljuvlig.

Herren bygger upp Jerusalem,
    han samlar det skingrade Israel.
Han helar dem som har förkrossade hjärtan
    och förbinder deras sår.
Han har bestämt stjärnornas antal
    och gett var och en ett namn.
Vår Herre är stor,
    hans makt är oinskränkt,
    hans förstånd är obegränsat.
Herren stöder de ödmjuka,
    men de gudlösa slår han till marken.

Sjung till Herren med tacksamhet!
    Lovsjung vår Gud till harpa!
Han täcker himlen med moln
    och låter regn falla på jorden.
    Han låter gräset växa på bergen.
Han ger mat åt djuren
    och åt korpens ungar när de skriker.

10 Hästens styrka imponerar inte på honom.
    Mannens snabba steg är ingen glädje för honom.
11 Herren gläder sig över dem som fruktar honom
    och hoppas på hans nåd.

12 Jerusalem, lova Herren!
    Sion, prisa din Gud!

13 Han gör bommarna i dina portar starka
    och välsignar dina barn med dig.
14 Han låter fred råda vid dina gränser
    och mättar dig med det finaste vete.

15 Han ger jorden sina befallningar,
    och snabbt går hans ord ut.
16 Han breder ut snö som ull,
    och han sprider ut frosten som aska.
17 Han kastar ner hagel som smulor;
    vem kan uthärda hans kyla?
18 Han sänder sitt ord, och isen smälter,
    han andas, och vattnen strömmar.

19 Han har gjort sitt ord känt för Jakob,
    sina bud och beslut för Israel.
20 Något sådant har han inte gjort för andra folk.
    De känner inte till hans bud.

Halleluja!

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)

  1. Psalm 147:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 20
  2. Psalm 147:20 Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint nation; / he has not made his laws known to them

147 Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.

The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.

14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.

16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.
