Psalms 146

1 Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

Praise ye YHWH. Praise YHWH, O my soul.

2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

While I live will I praise YHWH: I will sing praises unto my Elohim while I have any being.

3 Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

Joyful is he that hath the El of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his Elohim:

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

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. YHWH looseth the prisoners:

8 the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

YHWH openeth the eyes of the blind: YHWH raiseth them that are bowed down: YHWH loveth the righteous:

9 he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

YHWH preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Sion, to all generations.

YHWH shall reign for ever, even thy Elohim, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye YHWH.
