147

1 הַ֥לְלוּ־יָ֨הּ ׀ כִּי־ט֭וֹב זַמְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ כִּי־נָ֝עִ֗ים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃ Hallelujah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

2 בּוֹנֵ֣ה יְרוּשָׁלַ֣͏ִם יְהֹוָ֑ה נִדְחֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל יְכַנֵּֽס׃ The LORD doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel;

3 הָ֭רֹפֵא לִשְׁב֣וּרֵי לֵ֑ב וּ֝מְחַבֵּ֗שׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם׃ Who healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.

4 מוֹנֶ֣ה מִ֭סְפָּר לַכּוֹכָבִ֑ים לְ֝כֻלָּ֗ם שֵׁמ֥וֹת יִקְרָֽא׃ He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names.

5 גָּד֣וֹל אֲדוֹנֵ֣ינוּ וְרַב־כֹּ֑חַ לִ֝תְבוּנָת֗וֹ אֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃ Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

6 מְעוֹדֵ֣ד עֲנָוִ֣ים יְהֹוָ֑ה מַשְׁפִּ֖יל רְשָׁעִ֣ים עֲדֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ The LORD upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground.

7 עֱנ֣וּ לַֽיהֹוָ֣ה בְּתוֹדָ֑ה זַמְּר֖וּ לֵאלֹהֵ֣ינוּ בְכִנּֽוֹר׃ Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving, Sing praises upon the harp unto our God;

8 הַֽמְכַסֶּ֬ה שָׁמַ֨יִם ׀ בְּעָבִ֗ים הַמֵּכִ֣ין לָאָ֣רֶץ מָטָ֑ר הַמַּצְמִ֖יחַ הָרִ֣ים חָצִֽיר׃ Who covereth the heaven with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.

9 נוֹתֵ֣ן לִבְהֵמָ֣ה לַחְמָ֑הּ לִבְנֵ֥י עֹ֝רֵ֗ב אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִקְרָֽאוּ׃ He giveth to the beast his food, And to the young ravens which cry.

10 לֹ֤א בִגְבוּרַ֣ת הַסּ֣וּס יֶחְפָּ֑ץ לֹא־בְשׁוֹקֵ֖י הָאִ֣ישׁ יִרְצֶֽה׃ He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

11 רוֹצֶ֣ה יְ֭הֹוָה אֶת־יְרֵאָ֑יו אֶת־הַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃ The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, In those that wait for His mercy.

12 שַׁבְּחִ֣י יְ֭רוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֶת־יְהֹוָ֑ה הַֽלְלִ֖י אֱלֹהַ֣יִךְ צִיּֽוֹן׃ Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion.

13 כִּֽי־חִ֭זַּק בְּרִיחֵ֣י שְׁעָרָ֑יִךְ בֵּרַ֖ךְ בָּנַ֣יִךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃ For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.

14 הַשָּׂם־גְּבוּלֵ֥ךְ שָׁל֑וֹם חֵ֥לֶב חִ֝טִּ֗ים יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽךְ׃ He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.

15 הַשֹּׁלֵ֣חַ אִמְרָת֣וֹ אָ֑רֶץ עַד־מְ֝הֵרָ֗ה יָר֥וּץ דְּבָרֽוֹ׃ He sendeth out His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly.

16 הַנֹּתֵ֣ן שֶׁ֣לֶג כַּצָּ֑מֶר כְּ֝פ֗וֹר כָּאֵ֥פֶר יְפַזֵּֽר׃ He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.

17 מַשְׁלִ֣יךְ קַֽרְח֣וֹ כְפִתִּ֑ים לִפְנֵ֥י קָ֝רָת֗וֹ מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃ He casteth forth His ice like crumbs; Who can stand before His cold?

18 יִשְׁלַ֣ח דְּבָר֣וֹ וְיַמְסֵ֑ם יַשֵּׁ֥ב ר֝וּח֗וֹ יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם׃ He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

19 מַגִּ֣יד דְּבָרָ֣ו לְיַעֲקֹ֑ב חֻקָּ֥יו וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטָ֗יו לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.

20 לֹ֘א־עָ֤שָׂה כֵ֨ן ׀ לְכׇל־גּ֗וֹי וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֥ים בַּל־יְדָע֗וּם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ {פ}
He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Hallelujah.

Commentary on Psalms 147:1

Rashi

English

For it is good to sing For it is good to sing to Him.

Ibn Ezra

English

"Praise be to God" - [These are] the words of the composer by way of prophecy, praising God as he sees his vision, for God will build Jerusalem and gather the dispersed of Israel.

And the word "זמרה" is a verb, like [it says] "... [and I will continue] to discipline you..." (Vayikra 26:18), and the ה is added because it serves for that which is after. "For it is good to sing of God, for it is pleasant and desirable" - [this word נאוה] is from the morphology of the word תאוה (desire), as I have explained, for the word is in the נפעל (passive) conjugation, like [it says] "...and all that is made in a frying pan..." (Vayikra 7:9).
