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.

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom 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 the dust; In that very day his plans 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;

Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is therein; Who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed; Who giveth food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free 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 up 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 the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
