Psalm 147

Vulgate

   1 ALLELUIA. Laudate Dominum, quoniam bonum est psallere Deo nostro, quoniam iucundum est celebrare laudem.
   2 Aedificans Ierusalem Dominus, dispersos Israelis congregabit.
   3 Qui sanat contritos corde et alligat plagas eorum;
   4 qui numerat multitudinem stellarum et omnibus eis nomina vocat.
   5 Magnus Dominus noster et magnus virtute, sapientiae eius non est numerus.
   6 Sustentat mansuetos Dominus, humilians autem peccatores usque ad terram.
   7 Praecinite Domino in confessione, psallite Deo nostro in cithara.
   8 Qui operit caelum nubibus et parat terrae pluviam. Qui producit in montibus fenum et herbam servituti hominum.
   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.

King James Version

   1 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
   2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
   3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
   4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
   5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
   6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
   7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
   8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
   9 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.
