< Psalms 146 >
1 Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.
Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:
I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!
3 In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.
Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:
4 His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.
His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, In that very day, his thoughts perish.
5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God: —
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
Who made The heavens and the earth, The sea and all that is therein, Who keepeth faithfulness to times age-abiding:
7 Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:
Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;
8 The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.
Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;
9 The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.
Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.
10 The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
