1 (12) Salmo. Louva, ó Jerusalém, o Senhor; louva o teu Deus, ó Sião,

2 (13) porque ele reforçou os ferrolhos de tuas portas, e abençoou teus filhos em teu seio.

3 (14) Estabeleceu a paz em tuas fronteiras, e te nutre com a flor do trigo.

4 (15) Ele envia a sua palavra sobre a terra, e aí ela corre velozmente.

5 (16) Ele faz cair a neve como lã, espalha a geada como cinza.

6 (17) Atira o seu granizo como migalhas de pão, diante de seu frio as águas se congelam.

7 (18) À sua ordem, porém, elas se derretem; faz soprar o vento e as águas correm de novo.

8 (19) Ele revelou sua palavra a Jacó, sua Lei e seus preceitos a Israel.

9 (20) Com nenhum outro povo agiu assim, a nenhum deles manifestou seus mandamentos.

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.*147.3 wounds: Heb. griefs

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.*147.5 his…: Heb. of his understanding there is no number

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.*147.14 He…: Heb. Who maketh thy border peace*147.14 finest…: Heb. fat of 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.*147.19 his word: Heb. his words

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