Psalms 146

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

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

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

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom is no help!

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

His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans perish.

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; 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 that is therein; Who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free the prisoners;

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

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; The LORD loveth the righteous.

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

The LORD preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
