Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being.

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

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

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his dust; in that very day his thoughts perish.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

5 Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; who keepeth truth for ever;

Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners;

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

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; the LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; the LORD loveth the righteous;

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked.

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

10 The LORD will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.

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