1(147) Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you⌃ the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.
1Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.
2The Lord builds up Jerusalem; and he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
2While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
3He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
3Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.
4He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.
4His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.
5Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God,
6The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
7Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
7who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
8who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men;]]
8Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.
9and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
9Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
10He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.
10Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
