Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.

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

I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!

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

Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:

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

His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —

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

Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:

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

Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;

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

Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;

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

Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.

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

Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
