Psalms 146

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

Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, my soul.

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

While I live, I will 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.

Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.

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

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

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

Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, 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 that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

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

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous.

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

The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD.
