Salmos, 147

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

1. Praise ye the LORD: for [it is] good to sing praises unto our God; for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

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

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

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

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

10.

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

11.

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

12.

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

13.

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

14.

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

15.

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

16.

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

17.

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

18.

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

19.

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

20.

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