Psalms 146

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

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

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

I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.

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

His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.

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

O the blessedness of him Who has the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on his God YHWH,

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

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

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

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

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

YHWH is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
