< Psalms 146 >

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.
Praise Yah. Praise Yhwh, O my soul.
2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.
While I live will I praise Yhwh: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yhwh his God:
6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. Yhwh looseth the prisoners:
8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;
Yhwh openeth the eyes of the blind: Yhwh raiseth them that are bowed down: Yhwh loveth the righteous:
9 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.
Yhwh preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
Yhwh shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelu jah.
