Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

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

I praise Jehovah 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.

Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he 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 earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

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

O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

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 to the age,

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.

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

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

Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

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

Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
