1Lodate il Signore, perché è cosa buona salmeggiare al nostro Dio, perché è cosa dolce, e la lode si addice a lui.2Il Signore ricostruisce Gerusalemme, raccoglie i dispersi d’Israele;3egli guarisce chi ha il cuore spezzato e fascia le loro piaghe.4Egli conta il numero delle stelle, le chiama tutte per nome.5Grande è il nostro Signore e immenso è il suo potere; la sua intelligenza è infinita.6Il Signore sostiene gli umili, ma abbassa gli empi fino a terra.7Cantate al Signore inni di lode, salmeggiate con la cetra al nostro Dio,8che copre il cielo di nuvole, prepara la pioggia per la terra e fa germogliare l’erba sui monti.9Egli dà il cibo al bestiame e ai piccini dei corvi, quando gridano.10Egli non si compiace del vigore del cavallo, né della forza delle gambe dell’uomo.11Il Signore si compiace di quelli che lo temono, di quelli che sperano nella sua bontà.12Celebra il Signore, o Gerusalemme! Loda il tuo Dio, o Sion!13Perché egli ha rinforzato le sbarre delle tue porte, ha benedetto i tuoi figli in mezzo a te.14Egli mantiene la pace entro i tuoi confini, ti sazia con frumento scelto.15Egli manda i suoi ordini sulla terra, la sua parola corre velocissima.16Egli manda la neve come lana, sparge la brina come cenere.17Egli getta il suo ghiaccio come a pezzi; e chi può resistere al suo freddo?18Egli manda la sua parola e li fa sciogliere; fa soffiare il suo vento e le acque corrono.19Egli fa conoscere la sua parola a Giacobbe, i suoi statuti e i suoi decreti a Israele.20Egli non ha agito così con tutte le nazioni, e i suoi decreti esse non li conoscono. Alleluia.
1Halleluja! Ja, es ist gut, unserem Gott zu spielen! Ja, ein Lobgesang ist lieblich, ist schön[1]. (Sal 92,2)2Der HERR baut Jerusalem auf, die Zerstreuten Israels sammelt er. (De 30,3; Ne 6,15; Sal 102,17; Ger 31,10)3Er heilt, die zerbrochenen Herzens sind, er verbindet ihre Wunden. (Giob 5,18; Sal 34,19; Is 61,1; Ger 33,6; Lu 10,34)4Er zählt die Zahl der Sterne, er ruft sie alle mit Namen. (Is 40,26)5Groß ist unser Herr und reich an Macht. Seine Einsicht ist ohne Maß[2]. (Giob 36,5; Sal 135,5; Is 40,28)6Der HERR hilft den Elenden auf. Er erniedrigt die Gottlosen bis zur Erde. (Sal 41,13; Mal 3,23)7Stimmt dem HERRN ein Danklied an, spielt unserem Gott auf der Zither! (Sal 98,5)8Ihm, der den Himmel mit Wolken bedeckt und Regen bereitet der Erde; der Gras sprossen lässt auf den Bergen; (Sal 104,14; Ger 14,22; Gioe 2,23; At 14,17)9der dem Vieh sein Futter gibt, den jungen Raben,[3] wonach sie schreien[4]. (Giob 38,41; Sal 145,16; Mat 6,26)10Er hat kein Gefallen an der Stärke des Rosses, noch Freude an den Schenkeln des Mannes.11Der HERR hat Gefallen an denen, die ihn fürchten, an denen, die auf seine Gnade harren. (Sal 33,18; At 10,35)12Rühme, Jerusalem, den HERRN! Lobe, Zion, deinen Gott!13Denn er hat die Riegel deiner Tore befestigt, hat deine Kinder gesegnet in deiner Mitte. (Ger 33,10)14Er schafft Frieden in deinen Grenzen, er sättigt dich mit dem besten Weizen[5]. (Le 26,6; Sal 81,17)15Er sendet seinen Spruch auf die Erde, sehr schnell läuft sein Wort.16Er gibt Schnee wie Wolle, Reif streut er wie Staub aus. (Giob 37,6; Sal 148,8)17Er wirft sein Eis wie Brocken.[6] Wer kann bestehen vor seinem Frost?[7] (Giob 38,22)18Er sendet sein Wort und schmelzt sie. Er lässt seinen Wind wehen – es rieselt das Wasser. (Sal 78,26)19Er verkündete Jakob sein Wort, Israel seine Ordnungen und seine Rechtsbestimmungen. (Mal 3,22; Ro 3,2)20So handelte er an keiner Nation, und die[8] Rechtsbestimmungen, die haben sie nicht gekannt[9]. Halleluja! (De 4,8; At 14,16)
1Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant,[1] and a song of praise is fitting. (Sal 33,1; Sal 92,1; Sal 135,1; Sal 135,3)2The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. (De 30,3; Sal 51,18; Sal 102,16; Is 11,12; Is 27,13; Is 56,8; Ez 39,28)3He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Sal 34,18; Ez 34,16)4He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. (Gen 15,5; Is 40,26)5Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. (Giob 5,9; Sal 48,1; Is 40,28; Na 1,3)6The Lord lifts up the humble;[2] he casts the wicked to the ground. (Sal 146,8)7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! (Eso 15,21; 1Cr 15,16; Sal 95,1)8He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. (Giob 5,10; Giob 38,27; Sal 104,14)9He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. (Giob 38,41; Sal 104,27)10His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, (Sal 33,17)11but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. (Sal 33,18; Sal 149,4)12Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!13For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you. (Ne 7,3)14He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. (Eso 34,24; De 32,14; Sal 81,16; Sal 132,15; Prov 16,7; Is 60,17)15He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. (Sal 148,8)16He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes. (Giob 37,6; Giob 38,29)17He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold? (Giob 37,9; Giob 37,10)18He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow. (Giob 37,12; Sal 33,9; Sal 107,20; Sal 147,15)19He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules[3] to Israel. (De 33,2; Sal 78,5; Mal 4,4)20He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules.[4] Praise the Lord! (De 4,7; De 4,32; Sal 135,1)
Salmo 147
King James Version
1Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.2The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.4He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.6The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.7Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.11The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.13For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.14He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.16He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.19He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.20He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
