Psalms 147
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
1Ἀλληλούϊα· Ἀγγαίου καὶ Ζαχαρίου. ΕΠΑΙΝΕΙ, Ἱερουσαλήμ, τὸν Κύριον, αἴνει τὸν Θεόν σου, Σιών,
2The LORD doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel;
2ὅτι ἐνίσχυσε τοὺς μοχλοὺς τῶν πυλῶν σου, εὐλόγησε τοὺς υἱούς σου ἐν σοί·
3Who healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
3ὁ τιθεὶς τὰ ὅριά σου εἰρήνην καὶ στέαρ πυροῦ ἐμπιπλῶν σε·
4He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names.
4ὁ ἀποστέλλων τὸ λόγιον αὐτοῦ τῇ γῇ, ἕως τάχους δραμεῖται ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ·
5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
5διδόντος χιόνα αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἔριον, ὁμίχλην ὡσεὶ σποδὸν πάσσοντος·
6The LORD upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
6βάλλοντος κρύσταλλον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ψωμούς, κατὰ πρόσωπον ψύχους αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται;
7Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
7ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ καὶ τήξει αὐτά· πνεύσει τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ρυήσεται ὕδατα.
8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.
8ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰακώβ, δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
9οὐκ ἐποίησεν οὕτως παντὶ ἔθνει καὶ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐδήλωσεν αὐτοῖς.
10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
