Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.

4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

O the blessedness of him Who has the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on his God YHWH,

6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

YHWH is loosing the prisoners, YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, YHWH is raising the bowed down, YHWH is loving the righteous,

9 The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

YHWH is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.

10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!

YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
