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 in them 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 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 upholdeth 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, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
