Psalms 146

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

2 I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.

I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.

Do not put your trust in princes or in mankind, in whom there is no salvation.

4 His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.

When a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans end.

5 Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh his God.

6 Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:

Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; he observes trustworthiness forever.

7 Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners;

8 The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous people.

9 The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.

Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; he lifts up the fatherless and widow, but he opposes the wicked.

10 The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.

Yahweh will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations. Praise Yahweh.
