Psalm 147 | English Standard Version

He Heals the Brokenhearted

1 Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant,* and a song of praise is fitting. 2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 4 He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. 6 The LORD lifts up the humble;* he casts the wicked to the ground. 7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! 8 He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. 9 He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. 10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, 11 but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. 12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you. 14 He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. 15 He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. 16 He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes. 17 He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold? 18 He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow. 19 He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules* to Israel. 20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules.* Praise the LORD!

Louis Segond 1910
1 Louez l'Éternel! Car il est beau de célébrer notre Dieu, Car il est doux, il est bienséant de le louer. 2 L'Éternel rebâtit Jérusalem, Il rassemble les exilés d'Israël; 3 Il guérit ceux qui ont le coeur brisé, Et il panse leurs blessures. 4 Il compte le nombre des étoiles, Il leur donne à toutes des noms. 5 Notre Seigneur est grand, puissant par sa force, Son intelligence n'a point de limite. 6 L'Éternel soutient les malheureux, Il abaisse les méchants jusqu'à terre. 7 Chantez à l'Éternel avec actions de grâces, Célébrez notre Dieu avec la harpe! 8 Il couvre les cieux de nuages, Il prépare la pluie pour la terre; Il fait germer l'herbe sur les montagnes. 9 Il donne la nourriture au bétail, Aux petits du corbeau quand ils crient, 10 Ce n'est pas dans la vigueur du cheval qu'il se complaît, Ce n'est pas dans les jambes de l'homme qu'il met son plaisir; 11 L'Éternel aime ceux qui le craignent, Ceux qui espèrent en sa bonté. 12 Jérusalem, célèbre l'Éternel! Sion, loue ton Dieu! 13 Car il affermit les barres de tes portes, Il bénit tes fils au milieu de toi; 14 Il rend la paix à ton territoire, Il te rassasie du meilleur froment. 15 Il envoie ses ordres sur la terre: Sa parole court avec vitesse 16 Il donne la neige comme de la laine, Il répand la gelée blanche comme de la cendre; 17 Il lance sa glace par morceaux; Qui peut résister devant son froid? 18 Il envoie sa parole, et il les fond; Il fait souffler son vent, et les eaux coulent. 19 Il révèle sa parole à Jacob, Ses lois et ses ordonnances à Israël; 20 Il n'a pas agi de même pour toutes les nations, Et elles ne connaissent point ses ordonnances. Louez l'Éternel!
