Psalm 147 [MT 147:12-20]

1

[Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aegis and Zacharias.] Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Sion.

᾿Αλληλούϊα· ᾿Αγγαίου καὶ Ζαχαρίου. - ΕΠΑΙΝΕΙ, ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, τὸν Κύριον, αἴνει τὸν Θεόν σου, Σιών,

2

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

ὅτι ἐνίσχυσε τοὺς μοχλοὺς τῶν πυλῶν σου, εὐλόγησε τοὺς υἱούς σου ἐν σοί·

3

He makes thy borders peaceful, and fills thee with the flour of wheat.

ὁ τιθεὶς τὰ ὅριά σου εἰρήνην καὶ στέαρ πυροῦ ἐμπιπλῶν σε·

4

He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.

ὁ ἀποστέλλων τὸ λόγιον αὐτοῦ τῇ γῇ, ἕως τάχους δραμεῖται ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ·

5

He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.

διδόντος χιόνα αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ἔριον, ὁμίχλην ὡσεὶ σποδὸν πάσσοντος·

6

Casting [forth] his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?

βάλλοντος κρύσταλλον αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ ψωμούς, κατὰ πρόσωπον ψύχους αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται;

7

He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.

ἐξαποστελεῖ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ καὶ τήξει αὐτά· πνεύσει τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ῥυήσεται ὕδατα.

8

He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.

ὁ ἀπαγγέλλων τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τῷ ᾿Ιακώβ, δικαιώματα καὶ κρίματα αὐτοῦ τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ.

9

He has not done so to any [other] nation; and he has not shewn them his judgments.

οὐκ ἐποίησεν οὕτως παντὶ ἔθνει καὶ τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐδήλωσεν αὐτοῖς.
