Psalms 146
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.
Praise Yahweh! With my whole inner being I will praise Yahweh.
2 I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.
I will praise Yahweh as long as I am alive; I will sing to praise my God for [the rest of] my life.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.
[You people], do not trust in your leaders; do not trust humans because they cannot save/rescue you [from your difficulties/problems].
4 His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.
And when they die, their corpses [decay and] become soil again. After they die, they can no longer do the things that they planned to do.
5 Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
But those whose helper is the God whom Jacob [worshiped] are happy. The one whom they confidently expect [to help them] is Yahweh, their God.
6 Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:
He is the one who created heaven and the earth and the oceans and all [the creatures] that are in them. He always does what he has promised to do.
7 Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.
He decides matters fairly for those who are (treated unfairly/oppressed), and he provides food for those who are hungry. He frees those who are in prison.
8 The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.
Yahweh enables those who are blind to see again. He lifts up those who have fallen down. He loves righteous [people].
9 The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.
Yahweh takes care of those from other countries who live in our land, and he helps widows and orphans. But he gets rid of wicked [people].
10 The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.
Yahweh will [continue to] be our king forever; you people of Israel, your God will rule forever! Praise Yahweh!
