Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, 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 the LORD: 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 the LORD 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. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD 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.

The LORD 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!

The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
