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!

Segond 21

La puissance de Dieu en faveur d'Israël

1 Louez l'Eternel! Oui, il est bon de célébrer notre Dieu. Oui, il est agréable, il est convenable de le louer. 2 L'Eternel reconstruit Jérusalem, il rassemble les exilés d'Israël; 3 il guérit ceux qui ont le cœur brisé et panse leurs blessures. 4 Il compte le nombre des étoiles et leur donne à toutes un nom. 5 Notre Seigneur est grand, puissant par sa force. Son intelligence est sans limite. 6 L'Eternel soutient les malheureux, mais il abaisse les méchants jusqu'à terre. 7 Chantez en l'honneur de l'Eternel avec reconnaissance, célébrez notre Dieu avec la harpe! 8 Il couvre le ciel de nuages, il prépare la pluie pour la terre, il fait pousser l'herbe sur les montagnes. 9 Il donne la nourriture au bétail et aux petits du corbeau quand ils crient. 10 Ce n'est pas la vigueur du cheval qu'il apprécie, c e n'est pas aux mollets de l'homme qu'il prend plaisir: 11 l'Eternel prend plaisir en ceux qui le craignent, en ceux qui s'attendent à sa bonté. 12 Jérusalem, célèbre l'Eternel, Sion, loue ton Dieu, 13 car il renforce les verrous de tes portes, il bénit tes fils au milieu de toi; 14 il donne la paix à ton territoire, il te rassasie du meilleur blé. 15 Il envoie ses ordres sur la terre: sa parole court avec rapidité. 16 Il fait tomber la neige pareille à de la laine, il répand la gelée blanche comme de la cendre. 17 Il lance sa glace sous forme de grêlons: qui peut résister devant ce froid qu'il provoque? 18 Il envoie sa parole et il les fait fondre, il fait souffler son vent et l'eau coule. 19 Il révèle sa parole à Jacob, ses prescriptions et ses jugements à Israël. 20 Il n'a pas agi de cette manière pour toutes les nations et elles ne connaissent pas ses jugements. Louez l'Eternel!
