Psalms 146

1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

הללו-יה הללי נפשי את-יהוה

2 While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

אהללה יהוה בחיי אזמרה לאלהי בעודי

3 Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

אל-תבטחו בנדיבים-- בבן-אדם שאין לו תשועה

4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

תצא רוחו ישב לאדמתו ביום ההוא אבדו עשתנתיו

5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

אשרי--שאל יעקב בעזרו שברו על-יהוה אלהיו

6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

עשה שמים וארץ-- את-הים ואת-כל-אשר-בם השמר אמת לעולם

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;

עשה משפט לעשוקים--נתן לחם לרעבים יהוה מתיר אסורים

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;

יהוה פקח עורים--יהוה זקף כפופים יהוה אהב צדיקים

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.

יהוה שמר את-גרים--יתום ואלמנה יעודד ודרך רשעים יעות

10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

ימלך יהוה לעולם-- אלהיך ציון לדר ודר הללו-יה
