Psalms 146

1 Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

הַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ הַֽלְלִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהֹוָֽה׃

2 Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

אֲהַלְלָה יְהֹוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃

3 in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

אַל־תִּבְטְחוּ בִנְדִיבִים בְּבֶן־אָדָם ׀ שֶׁאֵין לוֹ תְשׁוּעָֽה׃

4 His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.

תֵּצֵא רוּחוֹ יָשֻׁב לְאַדְמָתוֹ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אָבְדוּ עֶשְׁתֹּֽנֹתָֽיו׃

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

אַשְׁרֵי שֶׁאֵל יַעֲקֹב בְּעֶזְרוֹ שִׂבְרוֹ עַל־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

עֹשֶׂה ׀ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ אֶת־הַיָּם וְאֶת־כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּם הַשֹּׁמֵר אֱמֶת לְעוֹלָֽם׃

7 He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט ׀ לָעֲשׁוּקִים נֹתֵן לֶחֶם לָרְעֵבִים יְהֹוָה מַתִּיר אֲסוּרִֽים׃

8 The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

יְהֹוָה ׀ פֹּקֵחַ עִוְרִים יְהֹוָה זֹקֵף כְּפוּפִים יְהֹוָה אֹהֵב צַדִּיקִֽים׃

9 The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

יְהֹוָה ׀ שֹׁמֵר אֶת־גֵּרִים יָתוֹם וְאַלְמָנָה יְעוֹדֵד וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים יְעַוֵּֽת׃

10 The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.

יִמְלֹךְ יְהֹוָה ׀ לְעוֹלָם אֱלֹהַיִךְ צִיּוֹן לְדֹר וָדֹר הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
