The psalm is a liturgical hymn of praise celebrating God's power over nature \u2014 naming the stars, sending snow and frost, controlling seasons \u2014 alongside his providential care for Jerusalem, the outcast of Israel, and the brokenhearted. A distinctive theological claim runs throughout: God's preference is not for military strength (\"he delighteth not in the strength of the horse\") but for those who fear him and hope in his mercy, and his special revelation of statutes and judgments to Israel sets that nation apart from all others. Notably, the Septuagint superscription attributes the psalm to the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, a tradition absent from the Hebrew, while the Vulgate renders only what corresponds to verses 12\u201320 in the KJV numbering, reflecting the Latin tradition's division of Psalm 147 into two separate psalms. This text would be of interest primarily to biblical scholars, seminarians, or students of textual criticism seeking to compare ancient manuscript traditions and translation choices across languages.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 147","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":698}
