Psalms 147:1-150:6

JuliaSmith(i) 1 Praise ye Jah: for it is good to play on the harp to our God; for it is pleasant: praise is becoming. 2 Jehovah builds Jerusalem: he will collect together the outcasts of Israel. 3 Healing to the broken of heart, and binding up their pains. 4 Counting the number to the stars, he will call names to all of them. 5 Great our Lord, and great of power: to his understanding no number. 6 Jehovah setting up again the poor, and humbling the unjust even to the earth. 7 Strike up to Jehovah with praise; play upon the harp to our God: 8 Covering the heavens with clouds, preparing rain for the earth, causing the grass to spring up on the mountains. 9 Giving to the cattle its food, to the sons of the ravens which call. 10 He will not delight in the strength of the horse: he will not be pleased in the legs of a man. 11 Jehovah being delighted in those fearing him, in those hoping for his mercy. 12 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 13 For he strengthened the bars of thy gates; he blessed thy sons within thee. 14 Setting thy bound peace, he will fill thee with the fat of the wheat. 15 Sending his word upon the earth, even till his word shall run quickly. 16 Giving snow as wool: he will scatter the hoarfrost as ashes. 17 Casting his ice as morsels: before his cold who shall stand? 18 He will send his word and melt them: his wind shall blow, the waters will flow. 19 Announcing his word to Jacob, his laws and judgments to Israel. 20 He did not thus to every nation: and judgments they knew them not Praise ye Jah. 148 1 Praise ye Jah. Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 2 Praise ye him all his messengers: praise ye him all his armies. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise ye him all the stars of light. 4 Praise ye him, the heavens of heavens, and the waters above the heavens. 5 They shall praise the name of Jehovah, for he commanded and they were created: 6 And he will cause them to stand even to forever: he gave a law and it shall not pass away. 7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye dragons and all depths: 8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor: the spirit of storm doing his word: 9 Mountains and all hills; the tree of fruit and all cedars: 10 The beast and all cattle; the creeping thing, and the bird of wing: 11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; chiefs and all judges of the earth: 12 Young men and also virgins; old men with the youths: 13 They shall praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty over the earth and the heavens. 14 And he will lift up the horn to his people, praise to all his godly ones; to the sons of Israel a people drawing near to him. Praise ye Jah. 149 1 Praise ye Jah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, his praise in the convocation of his godly ones. 2 Israel shall rejoice in him making him: the sons of Zion shall exult in their king. 3 They shall praise his name in the dance, and they shall play to him upon the drum and harp. 4 For Jehovah delighted in his people: he will adorn the humble in salvation. 5 The godly ones shall triumph in glory; they shall rejoice upon their bed 6 The liftings up of God in their throat, and a sword of two mouths in their hand; 7 To do vengeance upon the nations, chastisements upon the peoples. 8 To bind their kings in fetters, and their honorable ones in fetters of iron; 9 To do upon them the judgment written: this honor to all his godly ones. Praise ye Jah. 150 1 Praise ye Jah. Praise ye God in his holy place: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise ye him in his powers: praise him according to the multitude of his greatness. 3 Praise ye him with the clangor of the trumpet: praise him with the lyre and the harp. 4 Praise him with the drum and the dance: praise ye him with strings and the pipe. 5 Praise ye him with ringing instruments of hearing: praise him with ringing instruments of loud noise. 6 All breath shall praise Jah. Praise ye Jah.
