Psalms 146

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

2 While I live I will praise Jehovah. I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Put not your trust in rulers, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

4 His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth. In that very day his thoughts perish.

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

7 who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah releases the prisoners.

who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

8 Jehovah opens the eyes of the blind. Jehovah raises up those who are bowed down. Jehovah loves the righteous.

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

9 Jehovah preserves the sojourners. He upholds the fatherless and widow. But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

10 Jehovah will reign forever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye Jehovah.

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.
