< Psalms 146 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Praise Yah. Praise Yhwh, O my soul.
2 I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being.
While I live will I praise Yhwh: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
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 dust; in that very day his thoughts perish.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yhwh his God:
6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; who keepeth truth for ever;
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners;
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. Yhwh 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;
Yhwh openeth the eyes of the blind: Yhwh raiseth them that are bowed down: Yhwh 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.
Yhwh preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The LORD will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.
Yhwh shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelu jah.
