Psalmus 147.
(3a)
Psalm 147.
147:1. Lauda, Jerúsalem, Dóminum : * lauda Deum tuum, Sion. 1. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: * praise thy God, O Sion.
147:2. Quóniam confortávit seras portárum tuárum : * benedíxit fíliis tuis in te. 2. Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates * he hath blessed thy children within thee.
147:3. Qui pósuit fines tuos pacem : * et ádipe fruménti sátiat te. 3. Who hath placed peace in thy borders: * and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
147:4. Qui emíttit elóquium suum terræ : * velóciter currit sermo ejus. 4. Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: * his word runneth swiftly.
147:5. Qui dat nivem sicut lanam : * nébulam sicut cínerem spargit. 5. Who giveth snow like wool: * scattereth mists like ashes.
147:6. Mittit crystállum suam sicut buccéllas : * ante fáciem frígoris ejus quis sustinébit? 6. He sendeth his crystal like morsels: * who shall stand before the face of his cold?
147:7. Emíttet verbum suum, et liquefáciet ea : * flabit spíritus ejus, et fluent aquæ. 7. He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: * his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
147:8. Qui annúntiat verbum suum Jacob : * justítias, et judícia sua Israël. 8. Who declareth his word to Jacob: * his justices and his judgments to Israel.
147:9. Non fecit táliter omni natióni : * et judícia sua non manifestávit eis. 9. He hath not done in like manner to every nation: * and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them.
V. Glória Patri, et lio, * et Spirítui Sancto. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
