Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

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

3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

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

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

5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah 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 the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth 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 executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

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

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

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 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

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

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

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