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.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any 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, nor in the son of man, in whom there 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 his earth; in that very day his thoughts 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,

Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; which keepeth truth for ever:

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

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed; which giveth food to the hungry: the LORD looseth 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 upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
