Psalm 147 This hymn contains
three stanzas, each beginning with a call to praise followed by the causes for
praise. The first (vv.1-6) calls for praise because of God’s grace to
Jerusalem(vv.2-3) and greatness in creation (vv.4-6); the second (v.7-11),
because of His greatness in creation (vv.8-9); and grace to those who trust Him
(vv.10-11); the third (vv.12-20), because He preserves Jerusalem (vv.13-14) and
gives His Word to man (vv.15-20). Verses 2-5 the Lord’s care for His people
(vv.2-3)is guaranteed by His omnipotence(vv.4-5). Verses 10-11 The Lord does
not take delight in physical strength but in reverential trust. Verses 15-20
His Word commands the forces of nature(vv.15-18), but particularly communicated
His laws to Israel, thus distinguishing her from all other nations (vv.19-20).
Psalms 147 (KJV)
¹ Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing
praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
² The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth
together the outcasts of Israel.
³ He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up
their wounds.
⁴ He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth
them all by their names.
⁵ Great is our Lord, and of great power: his
understanding is infinite.
⁶ The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the
wicked down to the ground.
⁷ Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing
praise upon the harp unto our God:
⁸ Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who
prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
⁹ He giveth to the beast his food, and to the
young ravens which cry.
¹⁰ He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:
he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
¹¹ The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him,
in those that hope in his mercy.
¹² Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O
Zion.
¹³ For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates;
he hath blessed thy children within thee.
¹⁴ He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth
thee with the finest of the wheat.
¹⁵ He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth:
his word runneth very swiftly.
¹⁶ He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the
hoarfrost like ashes.
¹⁷ He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can
stand before his cold?
¹⁸ He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he
causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
¹⁹ He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes
and his judgments unto Israel.
²⁰ He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as
for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
詩 147
(CKJVGT)
¹ 你們要讚美 耶和華！因歌頌我們的 神為善為美；讚美的話是合宜的。
² 耶和華建造耶路撒冷，聚集以色列中被趕散的人。
³ 他醫好傷心的人，裹好他們的傷處。
⁴ 他數點星宿的數目，一一稱它們的名。
⁵ 我們的 主為大，最有能力；他的智慧無法測度。
⁶ 耶和華扶持謙卑人，將惡人傾覆於地。
⁷ 你們要以感謝向 耶和華歌唱，用琴向我們的 神歌頌。
⁸ 他用雲遮天，為地降雨，使草生長在山上。
⁹ 他賜食給走獸和啼叫的小烏鴉。
¹⁰ 他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。
¹¹ 耶和華喜愛敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。
¹² 耶路撒冷啊，你要頌讚 耶和華！錫安哪，你要讚美你的 神！
¹³ 因為他堅固了你的門閂；他賜福給你中間的兒女。
¹⁴ 他使你境內平安，用上好的麥子使你滿足。
¹⁵ 他發命在地；他的話頒行最快。
¹⁶ 他降雪如羊毛，撒霜如爐灰。
¹⁷ 他擲下冰雹如碎渣；他發出寒冷，誰能當得起呢？
¹⁸ 他一出令，這些就都熔化；他使風颳起，水便流動。
¹⁹ 他將他的道指示雅各，將他的律例典章指示以色列。
²⁰ 別國他都沒有這樣待過；至於他的典章，他們向來沒有知道。

psalmist calls on the heavens(vv.1-6) and the earth (vv.7-14) to praise the

all his hosts.

⁶ He hath also stablished them for ever and ever:
he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
⁷ Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and
all deeps:
⁸ Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind
fulfilling his word:
⁹ Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and
all cedars:
¹⁰ Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and
flying fowl:
¹¹ Kings of the earth, and all people; princes,
and all judges of the earth:
¹² Both young men, and maidens; old men, and
children:
¹³ Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his
name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
¹⁴ He also exalteth the horn of his people, the
praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto
him. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 149 This
hymn is a summons to praise (vv.1-4) and a song of triumph (vv.5-9). Verses 6-9
these verses look forward to the subjugation of the nations at the
establishment of Christ’s millennial kingdom (Isa.54:11-17; Mic.5:4-15).
Psalms 149 (KJV)

song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

children of Zion be joyful in their King.

sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

will beautify the meek with salvation.
⁵ Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing
aloud upon their beds.
⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
and a twoedged sword in their hand;
⁷ To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and
punishments upon the people;
⁸ To bind their kings with chains, and their
nobles with fetters of iron;
⁹ To execute upon them the judgment written: this
honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
詩 149 (CKJVGT)
¹ 你們要讚美 耶和華！向 耶和華唱新歌，在聖民的會中讚美他！
² 願以色列因造他的主歡喜！願錫安的民因他們的 王快樂！
³ 願他們跳舞讚美他的名，擊鼓彈琴歌頌他！
⁴ 因為 耶和華喜愛他的百姓；他要用救恩當作謙卑人的妝飾。
⁵ 願聖民因所得的榮耀高興！願他們在床上大聲歌唱！
⁶ 願他們口中稱讚 神為高，手裏有兩刃的刀，
⁷ 為要報復異教的民，刑罰人民；
⁸ 要用鏈子捆他們的君王，用鐵鐐鎖他們的大臣；
⁹ 要在他們身上施行所記錄的審判。他的聖民都有這榮耀。你們要讚美 耶和華！
Psalm 150 In
this final doxology, the psalmist calls for praise in God’s sanctuary(v.1)
because of His deeds and His greatness(v.2), with all kinds of musical
instruments(vv.3-5), and by everything that has breath(v.6). verses 3-5
Israel’s music was apparently loud and rhythmic, produced primarily by
percussion and stringed instruments. Trumpet, Shofar, or ram’s horn. The harp
and lyre were larger and smaller portable harps, which varied in size and
number of strings.
Psalms 150 (KJV)
¹ Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary:
praise him in the firmament of his power.
² Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him
according to his excellent greatness.
³ Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise
him with the psaltery and harp.
⁴ Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise
him with stringed instruments and organs.
⁵ Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him
upon the high sounding cymbals.
⁶ Let every thing that hath breath praise the
LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
詩 150 (CKJVGT)
¹ 你們要讚美 耶和華！在 神的聖所讚美他！在他顯能力的穹蒼讚美他！
² 要因他大能的作為讚美他，按著他極美的大德讚美他！
³ 要用號聲讚美他，鼓瑟彈琴讚美他。
⁴ 擊鼓跳舞讚美他！用絲弦的樂器和風琴的聲音讚美他！
⁵ 用大響的鈸讚美他！用高聲的鈸讚美他！
⁶ 凡有氣息的都要讚美 耶和華！你們要讚美 耶和華！
