{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah;
{Or, For he is good: sing praises unto our God; For he is gracious}For it is good to sing praises unto our God;
For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.
Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem;
He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
He healeth the broken in heart,
And bindeth up their {Hebrew: sorrows.}wounds.
He counteth the number of the stars;
He calleth them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.
Jehovah upholdeth the meek:
He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.
Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving;
Sing praises upon the harp unto our God,
Who covereth the heavens with clouds,
Who prepareth rain for the earth,
Who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
He giveth to the beast his food,
And to the young ravens which cry.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:
He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
Jehovah taketh pleasure in them that fear him,
In those that hope in his lovingkindness.
Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem;
Praise thy God, O Zion.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;
He hath blessed thy children within thee.
He maketh {Hebrew: thy border peace.}peace in thy borders;
He filleth thee with the {Hebrew: fat of wheat.}finest of the wheat.
He sendeth out his commandment upon earth;
His word runneth very swiftly.
He giveth snow like wool;
He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
He casteth forth his ice like morsels:
Who can stand before his cold?
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them:
He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
He showeth his word unto Jacob,
His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.
He hath not dealt so with any nation;
And as for his ordinances, they have not known them.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Querverweise zu Psalm 147,15 Ps 147,15
For he spake, and it was done;He commanded, and it stood fast.
The Lord giveth the word:The women that publish the tidings are a great host.
He sendeth his word, and healeth them,And delivereth them from their {Hebrew: pits.}destructions.
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also it is with you;
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn?And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:
And it is turned round about by his guidance,That they may do whatsoever he commandeth themUpon the face of the habitable world,
But Jehovah {Or, hurled}sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not {Greek: sufficient.}worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only say {Greek: with a word.}the word, and my {Or, boy}servant shall be healed.
For I also am a man {Some ancient authorities insert set: as in Luke 7:8.}under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my {Greek: bondservant.}servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the {Or, boy}servant was healed in that hour.
