Psalm 147: 2-5
BO-NEH Y'RU'SHA-LAY-IM ADONAI
NID-CHEI YISRAEL Y'CHA-NES
BO-NEH Y'RU-SHA-LAY-IM ADONAI
NID-CHAI YISRAEL Y'CHA-NAIS
NID-CHAI YISRAEL Y'CHA-NAIS
IT IS HE WHO HEALETH THE BROKEN IN HEART,
IT IS HE WHO BINDS UP OUR WOUNDS,
GREAT AND MIGHTY IS HE.
IT IS HE WHO GRANTS US THE RAIN,
WATERS THE FIELDS,
AND GIVES US THE GRASS AND THE GRAIN,
EVEN WHEN THE YOUNG RAVEN CRIES,
GREAT AND MIGHTY IS HE.
LIFT UP THE LORD, JERUSALEM,
AND PRAISE YOUR GOD, O ZION,
FOR HE HAS STRENGTHENED
THE BARS OF YOUR GATES,
AND BLESSED YOUR SONS FOREVER.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem and
Gathers the outcasts of Israel.
