Psalm 147:3-13

Listen to Psalm 147:3-13
3 Egli è quel che guarisce quelli che hanno il cuor rotto, E fascia le lor doglie;
4 Che conta il numero delle stelle; Che le chiama tutte per li nomi loro.
5 Il nostro Signore è grande, e di gran forza; La sua intelligenza è infinita.
6 Il Signore solleva i mansueti; Ed abbatte gli empi fino a terra.
7 Cantate al Signore con lode; Salmeggiate colla cetera all’Iddio nostro;
8 Il qual copre il cielo di nuvole, Ed apparecchia la pioggia alla terra, E fa che i monti producono l’erba.
9 Che dà la sua pastura al bestiame. A’ figli de’ corvi, che gridano.
10 Egli non si compiace nella forza del cavallo; Egli non gradisce le gambe dell’uomo.
11 Il Signore gradisce quelli che lo temono, Quelli che sperano nella sua benignità.
12 Gerusalemme, celebra il Signore; Sion, loda il tuo Dio.
13 Perciocchè egli rinforza le sbarre delle tue porte; Egli benedice i tuoi figliuoli in mezzo di te.

Psalm 147:3-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 147

This psalm is thought to be written by David, and according to Theodoret predicts the return of the Jews from Babylon, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem by Zerubbabel, which seems to be grounded on Ps 147:2; though the words there agree well enough with the times of David; hence the title in the Septuagint, Ethiopic, Arabic, and Syriac versions, and Apollinarius, is as the preceding; the Syriac adds,

``concerning Zerubbabel and Joshua the priest, and Ezra, who were solicitous and diligent in building Jerusalem.''

Aben Ezra and other Jewish writers think it foretells the future rebuilding of Jerusalem, and the restoration of the Jews from their present captivity, and refer it to the times of the Messiah; and so far it may be right, that it respects Christ and the praise of him, on account of his nature and works; and may take in the conversion of the Jews. It seems to be written by the same person, and on the same account, as the preceding psalm.
