Psalms 146

1 Praise ye YHWH. Praise YHWH, O my soul.

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

2 While I live will I praise YHWH: I will sing praises unto my Elohim while I have any being.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

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

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 Joyful is he that hath the El of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his Elohim:

Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. YHWH looseth the prisoners:

who executes judgment for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

8 YHWH openeth the eyes of the blind: YHWH raiseth them that are bowed down: YHWH loveth the righteous:

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

9 YHWH preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

10 YHWH shall reign for ever, even thy Elohim, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye YHWH.

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
