Psalms 146

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

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their 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 who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, 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 that are in them.

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

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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

The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
