< Psalms 146 >
1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.
2 While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody 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 faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:
4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.
His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, 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 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:
Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:
7 Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;
8 The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;
Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;
9 The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.
Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.
10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
